When I found you, the world seemed to change its hue,
As if sunlight broke through years of silent gray;
Your laughter, a melody so beautifully true,
Taught my restless heart a gentler way.
In your eyes, I saw storms and summer rain,
Whole galaxies turning with quiet grace,
All the struggles, all the old, familiar pain
Fell away when I looked upon your face.
You showed me that love is not a perfect rhyme,
But a patchwork of hopes, stitched through the years,
A dance that might trip, outlasting time,
A refuge where joy still softens the tears.
I learned to trust the tremor of your voice,
The way your hands would steady mine in fear;
In loving you, I made the simplest choice
To keep you close, to draw you near.
When the world grows cold and shadows grow tall,
When we question whether hearts can remain,
It is your name that my spirit will call,
Your presence that soothes every lingering pain.
For you are the dawn in my starless night,
The compass I hold in a drifting sea;
You taught me to dream beyond my sight,
To love, to hope, to simply be.
If the years steal away my strength and youth,
If my steps grow slow, and my memory thin,
Know this, beloved, with unshakable truth:
You are where my forever will begin.
So take these words, unpolished, yet deep,
A vow from a heart that is wholly yours —
In your arms is where my soul will sleep,
Beyond every closed or opened door.
When I found you, I found my own name,
A mirror, a shelter, a fire through the cold;
In your love, nothing stays the same,
Yet everything precious remains, and grows bold.
