My beloved

All I want

is to be in love with you

to spend a lifetime watching your lips

shape the words

that hold me captive.

I want to forget the world,

to let it fade into silence,

to unlearn everything

except the sound of your voice.

All I want

is to love you

so deeply

that days slip past like seconds

on a clock that never runs

I want to lose myself in you,

and in that losing,

finally become

who I was meant to be.

You are my quiet inspiration

so bright it almost frightens me,

so much,

so overwhelming,

I wonder how I could deserve it.

All I want

is the warmth of your touch

soft as light,

steady as faith

guiding me home

whenever I am lost,

loving me

when I feel unlovable.

You are my guardian in the dark,

my angel in human form,

perfect in the way you hold my heart.

Stay as you are.

I love you.

And I will love you always.
