The Music of Us

Before I knew your name, 

My heart was already aching for you;

A hollow chamber awaiting its echo. 

Somewhere inside me was a place shaped only for you, 

Like Cinderella’s slipper, a mold only your heart could fit.

When you looked at me, my heart sighed in relief,

As if it had been holding its breath, 

Searching for you for lifetimes. 

 

You appeared in my life like wildflowers on the edge of a highway,

Bright, unexpected, 

Proving that joy can bloom even in the most ordinary places.

When we met, I was a puzzle scattered in the rain, 

Pieces blurred, edges broken, 

But somehow you still put me together,

And every shard became a picture of us, 

A portrait only love could finish painting. 

 

Your presence bends the sky. 

Your voice hums a joy the wind never knew it could carry.

When your lips find mine, 

Minutes dissipate into eternities the clock cannot measure.

With you, time forgets itself. 

With you, I am reminded why I’m here. 

You’re not just my reason, 

You’re my destination.

 

Your light spills over my darkness

Teaching my shadow how to dance. 

You inspire me, not just to dream, 

But to believe in the dreams. 

My compass points only to you, 

Even if tomorrow rewrites the sky.

Its arrow will always lead me home to you.

 

Like melodies finding lyrics, 

We were written to complete each other’s song.

Our hearts beat to a rhythm 

That angels trace into the stars,

That birds weave into their morning calls.

And in that music, 

I hear forever. 

 

The universe penned your name into my story as its brightest line,

Bolded, underlined, 

Etched in the ink of fate.

You are my favorite person, 

My beginning and my becoming.

Our love didn’t just fill the emptiness,

It rewrote the whole story.

Now I know your name,

And it is the word my soul was always trying to speak.
