Soft like Velvet
Just like flower petals you open up.
When life is feeling empty and
Extremely heavy you are the cup
That always remains full. You hand
Me parts of your soul and spirit
When mine is giving up. Your words
Bring hope. They are my one ticket
To the light in the darkness. Like birds
You fly me to a safer place. So my
Darling, I hope you never stop letting
The words float across the page die
Away. You are the soft and safe netting,
Protecting everyone. You are the ying
To my yang and the sweet to my sour.
You are like my miracle in the spring.
So I am thankful for you in every hour.

There is nothing more comforting than the feeling of being complete whether found within ourselves or completed by another.
Whether it be friendship or love it is an enduring gift.
Enjoyed the write.
