Love's Restoration

Nothing else exists when I am thinking of you
Your smile is the sun that melts away at my heart
Your brooding eyes pierce through the core of my soul
The thought of you gives my trust a fresh start.

Bitterness dies and happiness is reborn
Like the phoenix of myth, hope from the ashes
You bring a joy that I have never experienced
And through my veins, a desirous love passes.

You are God-sent and I thank the heavens daily
Because of you, emotions are no longer dormant
Fear of loneliness and never being loved
Has disappeared and is no longer my torment.

My aura is glowing bright; my smile radiates the room
I feel you within my skin
Thank you for easing this consuming pain
That my heart grew accustomed to back then.

A friendship deepens into a love all powerful
Intangible steel that no one can break
Love ever present, a gift given constantly
Protected so heavily that no one can take.

I appreciate you making me laugh again
My trust in love has been renewed
I thank you for restoring my dying belief
In the beauty of love that I thought I outgrew.
