Discovery

My dream of having
someone to love has

Finally come true,
a dream embodied

By warm hazel eyes
and a steadfast will,

Someone who cherishes
my soul with fervor,

One who would stop
at nothing to make me happy.

I always dreamed of
sharing a life with

Someone who cherishes
true love, and I finally

Discovered that in you.
