To My Justin

To My Justin

In the garden of my heart, I’ve wandered wide,  
Through paths of many men, I sought a guide.  
With dreams of Mr. Right, I danced in the night,  
But each time I was wrong, lost in the light.  

Yet here you stand, my prince, my knight,  
In your arms, I’ve found my truest delight.  
You’re the hero of my story, the calm in my storm,  
With you, my love, I’ve finally found my form.  

Without you, dear Justin, I’d drift and I’d sway,  
You’re the anchor that keeps my fears at bay.  
Though you drive me to madness, with quirks that confound,  
In the chaos of love, it’s you I have found.  

One moment I’m fuming, wanting to choke,  
Then laughter erupts, and I’m wrapped in your cloak.  
You see through my layers, my heart laid bare,  
In a world full of noise, you’re the breath of fresh air.  

So here’s to you, my love, on this special day,  
With every heartbeat, I cherish you more in every way.  
For in this wild journey, you’re my guiding star,  
Happy birthday, my darling, my love, my czar.  

Forever yours,  
Odette aka Laurie
