For you

I sought solace and I found it in you

I needed a rock and your hand steadied me

I meant to cry and you gave me your shoulder

and then made a bed of rose petals for me to lie on

I looked at the world with narrow eyes

the scorching radiance of it making me blink

you kissed my eyes and soothed them

I could see things differently

I feared darkness and you lit yourself up

like a candle burning itself to spread light

I sought, I wanted, I needed, I feared
And all you did was give.


Love is What I felt in you.
