After eighteen trips around the sun
My heart finally found you
My Star.
Then I softly kissed your forehead
While you were asleep
Just to pour more love
Into your dreams.
I want
Our love to transcend generations
And inspire the world to love more.
I fall in love
With your soul first
Then discovered
Your heart
Is made of gold.
I love you
For everything you are
And everything you are not.
I see your flaws
As the definition of your perfection
It is what makes you
Unique,
Valuable,
Worthy,
Precious
To me.
