He Stops My Heart

He walked into my life and into my heart and marked his territory And I had no options, no choice but just to accept That somewhere out there Under my nose existed someone Who would care enough To make me smile Laugh my heart into a knot and soothe my soul Put me to sleep by simply saying the word “sleep” Sweep me off my feet literally Have me gasping in amazement Pleasant surprises He wasn’t joking Trips at night, back and forth and back again I reflect and it moves me to tears He stops my heart He puts the smile on my face When I have really bad days When I’m really upset and the world is about to turn upside down His voice, his presence, his anything and everything makes it all okay Little did I know that my idle talk of “lets run off together” when I was stressed some years ago would mean oohs and aahs and wows and a painted smile across my face.
