How could I help but love you?

Once upon a time I had a dream
Of this man who loved so much
Demanded so little in return
With eyes like liquid pools
Absolving and absorbing me
Making me whole
Making me free
An angel
Just for me

One day, this man came into my life
Walked with confidence
Made me giggle
Literally turned me upside down
And it took me a while
-To remember that dream I had once
But I was having fun
And then I realised....

That warm smile of my angel
So like yours
Those dark brown eyes
That drew me in
Were yours
That smile so warm
That lit up the room
Was yours
Those arms that held me close
Lifted me up
Kept me warm
Were yours

And then I saw,
And now I see,
How you came to me
Rescued me
Made me whole again
Lifted me up
Thankyou
For being everything you are
For saving and loving me
For being my gift
From the Gods
Somehow, somewhere,
I must have done something right

Penned by my hand on the 14th of Ios, in the year 103 MA.
