My Home In You

The future is a scary thing, but I think I'll survive with you by my side

It’s more of a sense of being home,

A warmth that floods my bones,

Not the fluttering of butterflies,

But the comfort of years to come,

 

A hand to hold always,

Ears always willing to listen,

A soul that is paired with mine,

The knowledge of a perfect fit,

 

A smile I cannot forget,

Those eyes that are soft,

A laugh and joy shared with me,

A home that has chosen to love,

 

Sweet whispers of nothings in ear,

Twirling me on the dancefloor,

Soft kisses as I drift to sleep,

Holding me close, reassuring me,

 

Wiping my falling tears,

Saying exactly the right things,

Handing me a cup of coffee,

When my frown is ever so dominant,

 

Loving me more than I could ever do,

A sturdy companion, holding me,

Making me live more than I thought possible,

By loving you more than I dreamed I could.

I love the way you wrote this with heart rather than words. There are no interruptions of complicated or metaphoric terms that create the need for abstract interpretations. This is just simply a declaration of "who you are and what you mean to me". Exquisitely lovely:)

Beautiful and amazing use of words. Few of us can stand alone.
"Loving me more than I could ever do,
A sturdy companion, holding me,
Making me live more than I thought possible,
By loving you more than I dreamed I could. "
