once

I think that once in your life you meet someone. 

Someone who makes you feel like the love you once had was nothing.

 Someone who makes the love you thought was your “first love” look like just a lesson preparing you for this person. 

They love you on a level so deep 

that you can look in their eyes and see that they love you. 

The way they ask you how your day was,

 or remember your favorite foods.

 They make every bad thing in your life disappear just by being there. 

Every feeling of sadness and hurt can be calmed by this one person. 

They make you in some odd and cheesy way, 

feel whole. Every bad thing in your life that’s happened seems worth it. 

Their presence is enough.

 Some people search their whole lives for this person, 

for this love, 

and some are lucky and find them early without even looking at all. 

Ultimately this person makes you remember your worth, 

and ultimately,

 this person is your first real love.
