My Star
Of all of the things
I like about you best,
that one special thing,
your, "apart from the rest".
Our creative adventures
are hands down, by far,
the best of my best times,
which makes you my star.
My former forevers
found paths of their own,
each playing their part
in the ways I have grown.
There's so much of me
I would never have known
had I not let my heart
take its chances when shown.
With a precedence set
of what to expect
disappointment was easy
to learn to accept.
Sharing my passions
was only a dream
and fairly uncommon,
or so did it seem.
It was after the breaking
and building of me,
you came to unlock
what's inside with your key.
One specially made
to be used in due time,
to finally see
my life's reasons in rhyme.
My creative companion,
my, "never to be"
was suddenly sharing
a lifetime with me.
How could I appreciate
such a rare find,
without having first lived
with a much different kind.
At times I'd reflect and wish
we had more past,
especially now
that the years go so fast.
I was being prepared
to be where you are,
here in my heaven
embracing my star.
