A World of Possibilities

We were nothing more than friends,
But something shifted for us that
Night. It is like being in a dark room
And then someone turns on the light.
Suddenly I see every possibility with
You and us. We do not know the ends,
Only all the beginnings and all the paths
We travel on. When the flowers bloom
We cannot stop them. As we take flight
Above the scene it is like the wordsmith
   
In me finally stays quiet and enjoys every
Moment with you. Within your embrace
I feel safe and secure. With every kiss and
Laugh I feel more at home. Maybe we are
Just a fantasy or maybe this is life throwing
Us a chance. I will cherish every memory
With your calloused fingertips that trace
The deepest parts of me and with my hand
On your chest. I count every blessing and star
That comes my way. You are simply showing
   
Me I am worth it in the thousands of people
Who walk this earth every day. I am worthy
Of the love and kindness I give so freely to
Other people. You show me that the future
Is bright and full of so many possibilities.
How is it that you make this life less dull?
In a life filled with many doubts and worries
You make me forget every single one. With you
I forget about all those who once knew her,
The girl I used to be. With you the infinities
   
Of stars do not diminish or fade away from
View. Maybe I will blink and this might all
Be over soon, but I will never forget the way
You jump-started the spark in my heart I have
Not felt for a while. I used to feel like I was
An abnormal molecule or like a small crumb
On the horizon, but although now my wall
Has come crashing down you never stray
Far from keeping me protected. I never half
My love or heart for anyone. When the applause
   
Died down and the curtain closed you were
Still there, more than willing to be there for me.
How did I get so lucky to have you in my life?
A friend and consistent presence that can never
Be replaced. Just like a quilt you give me warmth
And shelter. As some things feel like it is blurry
On the horizon you are clear like the waves at sea
Welcoming me back with open arms. The knife
Drops to the floor and I do not want to pull the lever
On this friendship we share. You are my forever north.
