The Stranger Who Knew My Soul
When we first met, it was a stormy tide,
A dance of chaos, where shadows hide.
Eyes that pierced, like they’d known me before,
A stranger, yet something deeper at the core.
You spoke my truths, you called my name,
Unveiling fears I dared not claim.
Without a word, you unraveled the thread,
Reading the secrets I thought were dead.
It scared me, how you saw my scars,
Mapped my heart, aligned the stars.
Every corner I’d hidden away,
You illuminated with your radiant sway.
But in that terror, a spark did grow,
A connection stronger than I'd ever know.
Best friend and lover, a paradox rare,
A bond unspoken, beyond compare.
Vulnerable, bare, yet never alone,
You built a castle where fear had grown.
We were lovers, though never defined,
Bound by a thread that defied time.
Our hearts danced in a platonic sway,
A love so deep, yet kept at bay.
One night, when I lay in slumber’s grip,
Your lips brushed mine—a fleeting slip.
A kiss not meant for waking eyes,
A whisper of love in silent skies.
It shook my world, yet held me still,
A moment suspended, bending will.
For though our hearts were intertwined,
Our love was one we’d never define.
Differences grew, but so did we,
Finding peace in what could never be.
Now, as I look at who we've become,
I see a journey that’s only begun.
In time, you found your people, your place,
A haven of joy, a warm embrace.
And so did I, yet deep inside,
I’ll cherish the love we never had to hide.
Effortless, simple, pure as the air,
A bond unbroken, beyond compare.
Though life moves on, and paths depart,
You’ll always live within my heart.
