Because of You

March 25, 2021
By Anonymous

Because of you,

I smile more often.

I cry less, laugh more,

and feel like a new person.

When all light was gone

and darkness was all I could see,

you showed up and,

somehow,

you saved me.

And now that we're engaged,

I can't wait to marry you, baby.

I can't wait to hear us pronounced Mister and Missus

or for you to hold me

and give me your kisses.

I'd never known something like this

could be so simply amazing.

And as I sit here, lazing,

just writing this poem,

thoughts of you keep me company.

Because of you,

I am home.
