I love you.
There is no one in the modern world, that can compare.
You are the light of my life,

The one true constant in a world of chaos.
You are the eye of the hurricane, the world could be collapsing and
All I could think about is how it feels to be in your arms.

We will meet whether it is in this life,
Or another. Find me, tonight, outside your bedroom window.
Watching, waiting, admiring the beauty that is you.

You wont be able to find me.
I lurk in the shadows of your heart.
Look too closely and I disappear.
I am like a thin veiling of fog, beautiful, iridescent, come too close,

You’ll lose me, I’ll fade with the wind.
But now that I am always there, rooting for you.
