i stumbled
Meandering through the confines of my mind alone, I found myself
it took me some time to bloom without any help
I looked only to the sun for guidance and strength
and on the cloudy days, I tried my hardest to stay on the same wavelength
after a while though, it became easy to smile
I felt the happiest I've felt in a very long while
until I stumbled into you
you see, I've grown so much this past year, I feel as though I'm brand new
seeing the world for the beauty it holds, looking for life
reaching for the stars, despite if others thought if it was or wasn't right
but when you found me, this delicate little flower
you saw through any thorns, and sat with me for hours
your unique eyes saw me for what I was
you stayed with me, stayed up late and talked just because
there was something so intriguing about the two of us
we were different, but where it was so easy to adjust
it had been quite a long time since I'd opened up to someone like this
it was a feeling I again longed for, a feeling I'd missed
blossoming in someone's hands, allowing them to truly see
every little speck of color and design that made me
spending time to actually admire the beauty and essence
so many people lose each other because one loses their presence
but we both cherish every moment we get to see one another
we encourage our flames, we let them burn wild instead of trying to smother
the untamed nature is alluring to me
it's unwavering trust and loyalty
I am happy for however long our paths are meant to cross
I know that not one moment with you will ever be a loss
your smile illuminates any worry, and sets me free
gosh, we're always laughing together. isn't it great to just be?
to exist in this world at the same time
listening to the wind and combing through our minds
worries were melted away with the many kisses you've placed upon my neck
you ignite excitement and wonder about what's coming next
with you, I feel comfortable to dive into my passions
you've shown me nothing but encouragement and compassion
thank you for the countless laughs, adventures and running your fingers through my hair
the happiness and inspiration you've brought me cannot compare
I see your past, and you see mine
all we have right now is time
to make the best of each moment and smile
because in life we can run feet or run miles
we never know what's around the next bend
so let's lose ourselves in this bliss, not let this end
for however long we do this dance, I just want to tell you
that I am so happy I stumbled into you.
