How close you are


You came into my life unexpectedly,
and everything took a turn for the better.

Your warm eyes, your laugh,
the sincere way you speak,
and the kindness you showed me,
all became a part of my life.

As you unfolded yourself to me,
I discovered more and more beauty.

I have never seen so much
gentleness in one person.

Without even knowing it,
you were slowly making a place
for yourself in my heart.

It used to seem so hard at times
to feel so close in a relationship.

But it’s so easy to feel close to you.

I can’t tell you how nice that feels.

I realize now that I had never known
what it meant to be loved
until I was loved by you.
