You Make Me Complete

You are the heartbeat of my soul,
the rhythm beneath everything I am,
the breath that fills the lungs of my spirit
and reminds me what it means to truly live.

You are the woman I once thought
could exist only in dreams,
until somehow, impossibly,
my dreams opened their eyes
and I found you standing before me.

You came into my life like a storm,
sudden and unexpected,
a flash across a sky
I thought I already understood.

And in what felt like a single moment,
you changed everything.

Because while the storm may have arrived quickly,
what it left behind was not temporary.

It left you.

Your laughter woven into my memories.
Your touch written across my heart.
Your love reaching places inside my soul
no one before you had ever come close enough to find.

There are parts of me
I didn't know another person could touch
until you reached them without even trying.

Parts that had been silent for years
somehow learned to speak your name.

And perhaps that is how I know
what you truly are to me.

You are more than the woman I love.
More than a girlfriend,
more than any title this world could give you.

You are my person.
My love.
My home.

The heartbeat of my soul
and the breath that keeps it alive.

You may have entered my life
as quickly as lightning crosses the heavens,

but what I feel for you
was never meant to disappear with the storm.

Because someday our moments will become memories,
our years will become a lifetime,
and even that lifetime will eventually become eternity.

And if eternity truly stretches beyond this life,
then somewhere beyond our final tomorrow,
I believe my soul will still know yours.

It will still remember your touch.

It will still search for you.

And when it finds you,
it will love you all over again.

Because you didn't simply enter my life.

You touched my heart.
You reached my soul.

And you became part of both
for eternity.
