I don’t know
Much about the future
The only certainty I have
Is that
It starts and ends with you.
My heart desires two things
That my dreams come to life
And we live to enjoy it.
Your hazel eyes
Made my heart melt
And now
I refuse
To look at anything else.
From the moment
Our lips touched
My soul felt
Alive,
Lifted,
Fulfilled.
I want to dive
Deep into
You,
Your heart,
Your soul,
Fully,
Wholly,
And never return back.
I am grateful
To cherish the opportunity
To merge in your heart
During the most beautiful adventure.
So I want to tie the knot
My best friend
I can share love
With a soul genuinely.
