It started with a door,

Which opened ever so slightly.

I entered with promise,

And my heart felt mighty.

A story began and walls were built,

But they were transparent,

Beautiful,

And didn’t crumble from guilt.

This love bloomed

Each kiss like a petal.

Growing with each day,

We dared to never settle.

Our life was ours for the taken,

And I felt it in every bone.

I could move across country but-

In your arms, I found my home.
