Sanctuary

In the darkness of the night
Velvet fingertips grazed my skin
Butterflies danced in my stomach
As he pulled me closer to him
I’m lost in a perceptual reality
In a world where he is all mine
A place where I can finally believe in love
And the stars are perfectly aligned
He looks straight into my heart  
Every time he looks into my eyes
I am defenseless and unguarded
My colors showing like a prismatic sunrise
I have never felt more comfortable
When exposing all of my vulnerability
It feels like I was made for him
And he was custom made for me
I’ve never been sure what love is
But I am sure this is how it must feel
Everything becomes more vivid and sweet-
Euphoric and majestically surreal
And I know nothing lasts forever
But he gives me forever in a day
So I’m going to hold on to every moment
And every thought paving the way
Down this road with its twists and turns
Going in a direction; I don’t know where
I am only certain of one thing for sure
I’ve no need to worry if he is there
I will simply live each day in gratitude
Thankful he finds beauty in someone like me
For as long as he wants, I will give him my all
He is my secret sanctuary where I am freed
