Every Reason to Love

It was when he truly looked at me that I knew  
I was falling head over heels for him. It is not  
About the person who makes you feel butterflies  
In your stomach, but about the one person who  
Calms your heart and spirit. It was when the knot  
In my mind became untangled and my dark skies  
 
Became light again. I felt it right there in my bones  
That he is my person. He is the reason I can breathe  
And become myself all over again. It is never about  
The person who broke my heart, but the sharp stones  
That become loosened as there is something beneath  
The surface of their rough exterior. I have no doubt  
 
That he is the one I am loving through the mundane  
And rainy days. He is in the forefront of my mind when  
Everything else fades away. He is pulling me to the shore  
When I am drowning and is the one who keeps me sane  
In this world. With his love that comes in through the door  
 
I am safe. With his gentleness coming in like sunshine  
I know I am the lucky one. He is my smile when there is  
Darkness. He knows I feel secure whenever he is around  
And little does he know that we have been intertwined  
Since day one. I love him, even with one word that says  
So much as his presence always keeps me on solid ground.
