Honey

Hair thicker than a forest,

dark and brown and absolutely gorgeous.

The freckle on your cheek & your crinkled nose when you laugh,

the smile that tempts me to forget all about my past.

The reasons I adore you are endless,

just like time when I am with you.

Your courage, your strength, and your kindness

make me want to be better in every way, in everything I do.

The pools of toasted honey that twinkle in your eyes,

the light that ignites when you talk about your passion

Yet how fierce you are against something you despise

there's so much more to than simply your attraction.

You are my best friend, that much I know

What I wasn't prepared for was how much you would heal my soul.
