poem about finding the perfect one

in life •  7 years ago 

We started off as strangers
Then we soon became inseparable
I told you I loved you
Though not sure you felt the same
Soon after I said it, it started as a game
But soon became the truth that you loved me too
You're the first one I think of when I wake up
And last one I think of before I go to sleep
I love you so much I wish you never had to leave
Everything, from our late night talks, dumb jokes
Awkward moments and all the laughter
Just makes me fall in love with you more each day
You give me butterflies when you smile that smile
But then I realize that the sun, it really did shine
The day you came into my life
And everything that was wrong
Became all right
Everything that was upside down
Turned around
And I smiled because finally
My heart had found its home
And I didn’t need anyone to tell me
That you are where I belong
I knew, I just knew
That it was you
And in the morning sun it would rise
And dance through the happiness
That shines in my eyes
And all my dreams they did come true
Every second that was spent with you
And every wish I had ever made
Came to life that one fateful day
And I smiled because finally
My life and everything made perfect sense
And I didn’t need someone to tell me
That this was love or what it meant
I knew, I just knew we were meant to be
I was meant for you
And you were meant for me
The sky without the stars
The sea without the water
The ground without the grass
The desert without sand
The land without trees
The living without the dead
These are things meant to be together
I know that since meeting you we are like all these things
We are meant to be together

Hey @briancourteau, I came across your post and poem and felt inclined to comment. Firstly, I applaud you for your work. I'm not a poetry aficionado however it reads well. Thanks for sharing. Secondly, I respect you for shouting your love and respect for your partner so loudly. I have done the same on my blog at times as my wife is the most precious part of my life and at times I feel so strongly about her that I'm fit to burst. It's at times like that I write about her.

I'm not on Facebook and am not a fan of hollow terms of endearment posted on FB between partners however your poem is much more than that.

I wish you and your partner the best and look forward to seeing some more of your work.

Cheers mate.

Hi @galenkp, I'm the lucky girl this poem is written about; like Brian, I'm so glad that you found the same...we love the same way, "I feel so strongly about her that I'm fit to burst". That is beautiful:) Cheers!

It’s easy to get confused in this world with all the distractions and focus on things that are not that important. My wife and I have worked out what’s truly important to us and we chase that. It was so nice to see Brian’s poem about you; A pity there’s not more of that and less of the narcissism this society is plagued with.

You said it...somewhere our world took a funny turn and people are more focused on "stuff" as opposed to real human emotions. Perhaps it's easier to believe you "love" a good pair of jeans; and it's a lot less work. Maybe that's it...it's too much work to really "love" and we live in a world of instant gratification. Thank you for your comments; I know Brian takes a lot of pleasure from all of this!

Brian sounds like a champ and a keeper! :) Seriously though, it’s so great that a bloke can openly say stuff like that. It’s rare these days I think. You’re right, the world has gone mad with consumerism, greed and is gratification-oriented. It’s at time la like that people should be dialing back to the basics. That’s my opinion. That advert on TV indicating you will have a better life if you buy that thing is a lie.

He is a champ and a keeper for sure; he's got a tough guy image, but underneath is a real teddy bear:) I'm with you, back to basics for sure! Glad you and yours are on the same page...makes for a very fulfilling relationship for sure!

I'm so glad I saw your comment; I love how we can 'stumble' on good people here!

Coming across great users is one my best rewards on this platform. I found Brian’s blog because Inwas actively searching. Great to come across you guys. :)

i would never post on facebook what I write here. awesome and glad you have found the perfect partner.

I deleted my FB account. Best thing I ever did.

This makes me both happy and sad . Sad bc I think I lost the one that was for me , but happy to know that this love exists ! ❤️
