I love you

Three simple words, eight letters
Spoken casually all of our lives
Almost as punctuation to a thought

I love you

We are surrounded by the idea of love
Found in all formats and in all genres
Society desensitized us to it's meaning

I love you

I said those three words before I met you
Recklessly without realizing the impact
Unaware saying them can be life changing

I love you

Without warning love happened to me
Your affection became my addiction
I felt like I was breathing for the first time

I love you

I wasn't looking to fall in love with anyone
Nor could I have even begun to stop myself
I fell so hard but as promised you caught me

I love you

In your embrace I found acceptance
I found passion, but also tenderness
Myself, I found myself in your arms

I love you

With your unconditional love I changed
Shedding all of my fears and inhibitions
A sexual awakening you alone witnessed

I love you

Giving all of myself to you effortlessly
Trusting you with my fragile existence
Letting my world revolve around you

I love you

You challenged me to spread my wings
Simultaneously you stroked my budding id
While feeding my control hungry ego

I love you

As I spoke those three words to you
I knew my world had forever changed
Finally becoming who I was meant to be

I love you

If my time here somehow ended tomorrow
To the Gods I would only say thank you
Because despite the odds I finally found you

And I will love you forever.
