Before You

A Starless Night

Before you, I was alone

My life a starless night

Everyday lost & forlorn

I was always searching,

Always looking

For the one whom I could call my own.

Then when all hope had withered away

On the darkest of days

You appeared

An explosion of light illuminating the sky,

Coloring its dark canvas.

I was blinded by your brilliance,

By your eyes so lit up like the stars,

Your smile as warm as the sun.

I had found you at last;

My reason for existence.

I longed for your embrace

Your gentle touch,

The sound of your voice

Whispering the words

That I so long have craved,

I love you.

Together, you and I

Has never sounded so sweet.

Entwined in your love forever

Spending our lives together

I found

Life is worth living.
