the sweetest moments

are the simplest things

they require nothing more

than me and you, you and me

I sit beside you, holding you

your head against my chest

you tell me you can hear my heartbeat

that it could lull you to sleep

the softness of your skin

the tenderness in your eyes

the sound that surrounds your laughter

is music in my ears

time with you is healing

it rejuvenates my soul

I feel myself filling up

I begin to overflow

the feelings are wild and rampant

running up and down my chest

a heightened state of being

from simply being, with you

what we share defies explanation

though the words flow constantly over me

trust and love, reverence and respect

here everything is complete

we talk about love, we talk about life

we share happiness and pain

tears and laughter in the very same breath

this is the life we share

from one moment to the next

we don’t skip a single beat

connected through the thread

that has tied you to me

I lie back and pull you over

the full weight of your body on mine

we fit together seamlessly

this connection brought me to life

I am awed at the way you listen to me

the way you notice every detail

you say “I don’t think you’ve ever been loved

like this, by anyone before”

my Sweet Girl, the truth in that

has changed everything that I am

and every day I joyfully become

a better version of me

I don’t know where this road will take us

I don’t know who we will become

but I know that I get to walk beside you

and that this is our way home
