It feels like your smile's radiant glow penetrated my heart, invading every dark corner, dark sanctuaries to my fear and doubt.
Slowly, steadily, savagely slaying the negative feelings that have taken refuge in my once lonely heart.
Putting back the pieces of me that have fallen apart.
The tender timid touch of your hand on mine puts to rest the worries that seem to plague my mind.
The sad and lonely child in me marvels how a person can be this genuinely kind.
When I look into your eyes I see never ending horizons,
The eternal sunshine of hope,
The person that understands how to love a terrified broken heart, like that which resides in me.
You have cautiously guided me out of the shell I had imprisoned myself in;
Preferring solitude than the prospect of dealing with pain again.
Your unconditional love seeped into my insecurity and ate at it from the inside, turning it into sparkling euphoric joy,
Which surrounds the core of my soul, transforming it from freezing cold to the warmth of a cooling coal.
Like a butterfly looking back at its cocoon, I look back at how I used to be before you.
A shivering cowering being chained to the corners of a filthy room, a prisoner of his fear.
Hurt once, almost gone forever.
Clinging to a shield of loneliness and hiding behind people's misunderstandings.
I look back at who I used to be
And I thank God
That you were able to see the person that you helped make me be, even before anyone else could.
I appreciate your constant struggle against people's doubts;
And I apologize for every time you showed me love and I cowered back between the cracks of my shattered heart.
Your trust, your patience, your devotion, your loyalty, your understanding
All helped heal the hurt that I thought even time could not mend.
Because of you I am now a free spirit gliding in the paradise of emotions,
Inhaling the fragrant scent of honesty and relaxing in the waterfalls of trust.
My dark cloudy skies destroyed by a million rainbows and a billion shooting stars.
The monsters that used to chase my sanity have become unicorns and gazelles that graze at my feet and keep the hope forever planted into my essence.
I love you,
The words that used to take my breath away in the intimidated fear of revealing my true feelings to another
Are now the words that form the air I need to survive.
I have changed because of you,
My heart beats not to live, but to whisper your sacred name.
I love you,
My angel,
With a fierce force that even the universe cannot contain.
Every inch of my existence is so deeply devoted to the strong, fragile, sentimental, feelings I feel for you.
The power of love has touched my life,
A blessing triggered by your presence at my side.
Angel, because of you
My soul is transformed,
My heart is open wide,
Come closer my destiny,
You love me for who I am
There's no more reason for me to hide….
