My Missing Puzzle Piece

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over six months, so I thought I would dedicate a poem to him.

My Missing Puzzle Piece

 

A little over six months ago,

When we agreed to meet,

I was uncertain of where we'd go

Unsure you were mine to keep.

 

My spirits had sank way down low,

In the weeks after I came out.

Most guys wanted their fix and go,

So I certainly had my doubts.

 

I brought you back to my apartment,

Expecting more of the same.

But when we starting talking,

Sparks shot through my brain.

 

I think that we were meant to be.

I could see it in your eyes.

The first time that you kissed me,

I knew you were my guy.

 

Things were well for us,

But troubles came at work.

Another teacher bullied and annoyed me,

He got under my skin, that jerk!

 

I let it build inside me;

For a month, I told no one.

On Christmas Eve I confessed to you,

The damage had already been done.

 

I fell into a severe depression,

But you stayed by my side.

You told me things would be okay; you lessened

The sadness I harbored inside.

 

All those times I cried, you wiped my tears away.

When I sobbed, you held my hands.

And during those moments I was afraid,

You helped me to rationalize those fears.

 

Now, I’m happy again.

Though, I had a few periods of relapse.

You brought me to me feet again,

Those times I had collapsed.

 

Let me say this now.

Please pardon the clichés:

 

You're my missing puzzle piece.

With you I feel complete.

The troubles I once felt have ceased.

Painful memories no longer haunt my dreams.

 

I will say this, love:

 

In a world filled with so much ire,

Misunderstanding and fear of our kind.

I’m glad that I can fight this rainbow war

With your effervescent spirit in my life.

 

I have wondrous hopes, aspirations

For the upcoming years we’ll get to share.

You’re my constant inspiration.

You’re the answer to my prayers.
