It’s been a long time since the last poem was written
About how love is such a lovely feeling
How it can conquer even the greatest fear
How it paints the brightest eyes
How it curves the joyous smiles
How it brings butterflies in the stomach
How it radiates a person’s being
And how it feeds the soul with the healthiest thoughts
It’s been a long time since I felt how to be truly happy
(Have I already been?)
The moment I looked into your eyes
And admitted that
Yes
I surrender in this fight
Of guarding myself against the fact
That you affect me
You deeply affect me
With the purity of your soul
(Yes, you do)
I can’t help myself
But burst into tears
Knowing that you are here
How thankful I can be
It’s been a long time
Yet I haven’t said this
Baby,
Thank you for pursuing me
I know it was never an easy road
I can vividly picture how the fight was actually a fight
Between hope and uncertainty
I knew you were haven
But I don’t want you to become mine
For I fear of being not enough
Now I know
That I don’t have to overthink of being enough
For I can feel more than what I thought
Your invasion touched every scar
Every doubt
Every fear
And healed it
You are indeed my Raphael
