Your eyes I noticed firstSparkling at meFrom across the room;And then your beautiful smileNodding comfort and familiarity.Everyone else disappearedThe two of us remained.Heartbeats noticeable,Conversations natural.I knew then you were the one.Chatting over a cup of tea,About the funny bits and life’s lessons.Mistakes we didn’t learn from,And the giggles that came after.A constant companion, a true friendMy love and my sounding board.Sometimes we needed time apart,We knew it was a healthy option;Too much of anything can be tough.Relationships that become friendships.Reflecting and adapting as we grow,Stability and mutual respect...And always a kiss goodnight
