Eternally Yours

 When you were gone for aeons long
Lifetimes on I searched for you still
Your memory strong, a primal desire
Never forgotten
Just your image was a blurry haze like a dream that dissipates
Upon examining
But appearance is fleeting
Your soul shines golden through all irrelevant skin
It's always been
The beacon to my lost ship

So I craved you like an abstract thing
Always searching
For that elusive fleeting feeling, chasing
A never ending sense of something missing
An echo of whole
Guiding me through lonely lifetimes
My compass forever fixed to your soul

Before I ever set eyes on you I loved you
Like the most precious thing I've ever known
Like a long lost home
Like only you alone could make me see in colour
Give me hope
Be my best friend, soul mate, my lover
My spiritual other, my muse, my mirror
Reflected in your eyes is the story of my life
Past and future
Undeniably, irreversibly linked together

Found at last
I kiss each one of your scars
Each imperfection more perfect than the last
You pick up my pieces
Gentle, one by one
Pouring more love into every single one
Than I could fathom existed on Earth

I love you til it bursts through my skin and sets fire to my dormant heart within
Your one heart holds my everything
This love, like life blood runs through my veins
Your voice like music in my pulse
Your touch, elixir to my soul
With me always

When I'm broken into pieces
Anxious and defeatist
You fix me with kisses, fluttering like butterflies
And words like little lullabies
In beautiful whispers
Strange sounds I've never heard before
And yet they sound like home

I don't know if fate exists
Or luck or cosmic destiny
Kismet, or meant to be
But I'll be grateful each day, eternally
That the universe lead you here to me.
