Smiling, I picked up my pen and paper. I stared at the blank page, letting my mind wander. Your soft brown eyes were the first thing I saw, the way they scrunched up when you laughed, and how much love was in them every time you looked at me. I saw you perfect mouth, in the most beautiful smile I had ever seen in my life. My mind wandered to your arms around me, they always felt like home to me; safe, secure, and warm. The way your hands felt on my waist, the butterflies in my stomach. Even when I was just texting you, I couldn’t mistake the way you made me feel. Your charming words and loving phrases. It’s no wonder why I fell in love; quietly, but quickly.

I smiled, memories filling my mind and love filling my heart. Who knew that all the heartbreak, all the pain, would end in such a beautiful pairing. All the pain in the past four years had amounted to self-hatred, no self-esteem, and depression, but with you I felt that all wash away. With you I felt confident, secure, and beautiful. You made me feel new, like I didn’t have a care in the world. It’s just you and me, the rest of the world could wait.

I don’t think I could ever find a flaw in you, you’re always patient, always kind, always loving. You put me first, and love me unconditionally. You’re face is perfect, just like your body. You’ve never gotten the slightest bit mad at me, and you’ve always listened to every single rant I’ve ever had. What more could I ask for? I finally found someone with the perfect balance of similarities and differences, someone that would do anything for me, and someone that loves me for who I am.

Suddenly I couldn’t hold it in anymore, word upon word flew onto the blank page, every one filled with the love and adoration I held for you. I don’t usually write happy poems, but love, I guess you can be my exception.
