My One and My Only

I cannot find the words no matter how hard I try
to tell you what you mean to me

You are more than my partner
You are more than my best friend
You are more than my better half
You are more than my soul mate

Trite and overused titles are simply insufficient
to describe what I truly feel for you

You are my alpha and my omega
You are my beginning and my end
You are my first and my last
You are my inception and my completion

Even those descriptions seem to lack the depth
to tell how much I truly need you

You are my lover and my most loved
You are my owner and my possession
You are my spark and my flame
You are my one and my only

No matter what happens to us I promise always
to show how much I truly love you

You are my very heart
You are my very life
You are my very soul
You are my very essence
