True.

A poem about my partner and I, and when we first met.

From the very first time, I knew.
I knew I was to spend my life with you.
From the goosebumps on my arm, my insides shaking.
I knew at once, my heart was taken.

You took my hand, and you said ‘hello.’
Smelling of peppermint gum, and cigarette smoke.
Your smile spread across your face, contagious, it was.
The glitter in your eye, more beautiful than winter’s first frost.

I had known you most of my life, yet never truly met you.
Yet we both agreed that day, what we have is true.
Our lives entwined, our fingers laced.
I will never forget, our first embrace.
You held me in your arms, and swore to never let go.
I am complete, for I have you, I now know.

So i giftwrapped my heart, and gave it to you.
Hoping forever, our love stays true.
