To the firefly...

To the firefly...

It took a lifetime to find you, but just one glance into your eyes,

And I was forever lost, hopelessly entwined in the depths of your soul...

I knew in that instant, it was forever, and I vowed to cherish every moment,

To love you without condition, without hesitation, without end...

I'm utterly, senselessly, hopelessly in love with every fragment of your being,

Every whispered promise, every gentle touch, every loving glance...

I'll pamper you, spoil you, and ruin you for anyone else,

Until you're mine, until you're home, until our hearts beat as one...

I'll pamper you with words of adoration, with whispers of devotion,

With tears of longing, and a love that's strong, and true, and bright...

I'll spoil you by being your safe haven, your guiding light,

Your partner, your friend, your confidant, your soulmate, your everything...

I'll ruin you by loving you when no one else will,

By being your rock, your shelter, your haven, your home...

I'll pamper you by being your silence in the storm,

Your calm in the chaos, your peace in the turmoil...

I'll spoil you by being your only friend when the world turns cold,

By being your confidant when your heart is heavy, and your soul is old...

I'll pamper you by loving you on the days when you're hard to love,

On the days you feel unworthy, and unloved, and unlovable...

My arms will pamper you by redesigning your bad space into your home,

I'll spoil you by my presence amidst your loneliness, by whispering, "you're not alone."..

I'll ruin your soul by kissing your mouth, by touching the depths of your being,

By retrieving the pearl you hide, and making you feel desired, and wanted, and loved...

Every moment, on all the days, I'll continually pamper, spoil, and ruin you,

Until you feel loved, and cherished, and adored, and worshipped, and honored...

Until you know my intentions are honest, and sincere, and true,

And I want only you, my love, my heart, my everything...

Until you start believing in my love more than your scars, and your insecurities,

Until you start believing in love once again, and open your heart to let me in...

Until you're loved enough to know I've made my mind to stay,

In the very beginning, when I laid my eyes upon yours...

And until you know me enough to close the door of your heart behind,

Keeping us in, and the world out, and our love safe, and sound, and true...

Until you know that I will continue loving you with every fiber of my being,

Beyond that day when your heart will get entangled in mine, that day our souls will recognize each other, again after so many lifetimes...
