There’s a peace in my soul the like I’ve never known. Aftermath of everything else has left these bones. Clarity of love frees my heart.

I search for words to write to explain this light that you’re giving me. Like the caged bird that sings needs to spread its wings to be this free.

I’d grown cold on stories told of how love should be. I lost the fight inside, made the choice to hide, but you’ve captivated me. 

In a heartbeat, darling. That’s the time it took to take a deeper look and be in love with you.
