When we first met, I was broken

Thinking love was out of reach

All of my experiences

Shaped my beliefs

That I would never find someone

To love

To have

To hold

Then one day our eyes did meet

And I began to fall

My mind told me not to trust

But my heart began to call

Your warm brown eyes

Made my heart begin to pound

My stomach full of butterflies

Heat in my face began to rise

Mear words cannot describe

This feeling I have inside

All I truly know

Is that I finally felt alive

Your shy sweet smile

Your fluffy soft hair

You understand my sense of humor

And I forget not to stare

Then you finally asked me out

And I felt my heart begin to soar

I couldn’t believe this luck of mine

It was more than I ever dared to hope for

As the days turned into months

I began to learn how to be loved

What it feels like to be safe

Wrapped up in your arms

You bring a sense of comfort

A calm I’ve never known

And even though it’s temporary

One thing I can’t deny

You make me feel safe and warm

And in your arms, I found my home
