It came to me like snails come to gardens:

Ready to consume.

All my life I had to be so guarded,

Until I finally found you.

You caught my eye from the very start,

I was so unprepared,

Somehow you got me to hand you my heart,

And you proved that you cared.

You never once let me down,

You showed me how to trust.

Any time you came around,

All I could feel was love.

I’m incomplete

Now that you’re gone,

You’re what I need,

At any cost.
