I’ve never written a poem before, but these words kind of fell out of my head onto a piece of paper today while I was thinking about the man that I love. So I thought I would share. Just because.

You’re perfect

Your intellect, your brilliance, is amazing.  
You have a youthful attitude, you’re fun.  
You’re like an enchanted melody, softly playing.  
Your love is so kind and warm,  
It heats me like a campfire’s flames, dancing.  
You can always be depended on,  
And you see beauty in everything.  
You are awake. You are perfect.  
Don’t change anything.
