Love is the lie that keeps us alive.

Never did I expect,

Nor did I deserve,

To see the smile that lights up your face,

And the glimmer in your eyes,

A billion constellations,

The hardest of goodbyes,

With love that stretches far,

Winds like a river,

Reaches to the stars.

You were the light in my darkest day,

The voice I heard inside,

Guiding me to safety,

Away from evil eyes,

Time halted when I was with you,

Frozen by command,

In my world you were a desert,

I a grain of sand.

Never did I expect,

Nor did I deserve,

A love like this,

Your touch, your kiss,

To get me through hardest times,

I hoped that I could keep you happy

With this love of mine.

- A very raw and personal poem I wrote for someone during a relationship. Re visited now that it is over.
