Love Poem: A Better Place

A Better Place

You were a slow and subtle induction into my life 
You asked me if I would have lunch with you 
Even though I was bravely scared, I said yes 
We had no way of knowing the strife

 You were special from the start 
Your eyes sparkled like the reflection of the moon on water 
And with that mischievous grin of yours 
Without knowing, you stole my heart

 I gave into your kisses, your touch 
You took me places I have never been 
Places I could never go again 
Because of you, I have learned so much 

Some things were out of our hands 
Now looking back upon that time
 Searching my heart, my soul 
I realize after all you’re just a man
 
But time has brought us to where we are today 
Because of you I feel free and complete 
I just want you to know my friend 
I wouldn’t want it any other way
 
So thank you for being you 
For allowing me to be a part of your life 
And you a part of mine 
I have grown so much because of you

 Even through the heartache, the pain, and tears
 I would gladly do it all again
 For it has led me to a better place 
A place where I hope to be friends for years.
