To the man of my dreams and waking moments, happiest 8th month with you!
Who would’ve thought that, given my personality, we’d get here with the same fervor of feelings that we had 8 months ago. As I’ve always said, my love for you only grows every single day that we’re together. It warms my heart to witness how good a person you are and I am thankful that the Heavens had allowed our paths to cross during the time when I most needed a tangible example of God’s grace.
So without further adieu, here is another poem for you…
From Copper to Gold
Ancient as time and studied by the billions,
wonder and magic still abound love,
From a tiny spark to a roaring flame,
A curiosity evolving to a full heart,
The moments would tick by,
fast yet every piece of memory remains.
How hardships turn into memories,
the downpour a chance to hold each other,
the bitterness slowly swallowed by sweetness.
Love is an energy, love is magic, love is wonder,
It anchors and it makes us fly,
It calms and energizes us,
It pains and cures us,
It shatters and completes us,
It turns storms to rainbows,
It makes copper into gold,
It gives us meaning when nothing did,
So is there a reason not to love you?
