You shine.
You’re bright white light is so full of warmth.
Your positivity is contagious.
The love that seeps from your heart radiates,
and you’re words of kindness breathe life into soul.
I’m in awe of your incandescence.

Your love reignites the fire within my spirit.
The warmth of your goodness flows from your heart bringing to life
the darkest, coldest, hardest regions of my heart.

Before you, I was dead.
But you’re love somehow managed to revive me.
Your love injected life back into heart,
and now it beats as if speaking to yours.

You are my Northstar.
Before you, my soul was lost and my spirit was broken.
When you came into my life,
your light guided me through the darkest tunnel
of hurt and anguish into your embrace,
which I now call home.

The way I feel about you scares me.
I don’t understand it, but part of me doesn’t want to.
I think of how our connection has withstood the distance and time,
like a star’s glow burning through the universe
long after it is gone.

I also think of how we old both are
and how much more life we still have to live.
And I think, I wonder, at the end of it all,
after we’ve walked down our separate roads of life,
Will our paths once again cross?
Will we come together as one?
If so, will we stay that way?

I do know I will always find my way back to you.
Because your light shines brighter than all the stars in the sky.
You are my Northstar.
As long as you shine,
I will always find my way home.
