You’ve often asked why I love you,
And each time, I fumble with words—
Not for lack of feeling, but simply because I do not have the words to capture it.
My love, I am no poet.
To simply praise your beauty feels like touching the surface of an ocean,
When what I feel for you runs deep,
Far beyond the reach of mere appearance.
The truth is, I cannot predict the future;
It's a vast, uncharted sea.
I carry fears within me, countless as the stars—
Fears of the unknown, fears of what may come.
But even in the face of these fears,
I find myself drawn to the journey,
Eager to see what lies ahead.
And in that unknown,
I know one thing with certainty:
I want to walk this path with you by my side,
To face the dawns and dusks together,
To discover the future hand in hand.
I know I love you,
For despite my fears,
I find myself standing here.
I love you because,
In your presence,
I forget what it means to be afraid.
For with you,
I am brave. I am home.
And with you,
Even though, I yearn to be more than I am..
I am also enough.
