Do you know love?

The way it can blister and burn

Yet soothe all at once. 

The arms that hurt and the arms that heal. 

One and the same. 

The safety and stability.  

How even the bad days melt away,

The moment his hand reaches for me. 

I've never known loneliness the way that some do. 

I've never had a night alone, 

Dreaming of someone to hold. 

My rock, my love, my better half beside me. 

With all my faults he loves me still. 

Showing it daily,

in forgiveness. 

In tenderness. 

In the things others might miss. 

For all I've done wrong,

He is the right.
