My love,

Good morning in arrears,

Good morning for all the days before we met.

One too many times,

I let myself fall.

I know that when you’re in love,

Pain is an occupational hazard,

But I wasn’t ready for the fear that laced each minute of each day after.

For the seed of bitterness that took root,

For the darkness that enveloped me.

Confused, I wandered aimlessly,

I didn’t know where I was going

But I’m glad I ended up here,

With you.

I could love you with my eyes closed,

Not worried you’ll disappear.

I find myself waiting all day

To talk to you.

To see your smile.

Your smile is a full stop,

Stopping the long sentence of my life

From running on without a light.
