When you and I first met, I should have been terrified
I should have ran in the other direction after all that I had been through
But I couldn't
It was impossible to turn away from you
The way you looked at me
The confidence you emitted in everything you did
But I knew that wasn't the real you
That what was inside was as broken as I was
And that you too, unknowingly needed me as much as I needed you
It was a feeling deep inside of us
The one we didn't believe existed any longer
That one we still hopelessly and deeply longed for
It was so apparent from the very beginning
To look into your eyes was to visit your soul
And it was unexplainable
Something that connected us the very moment we allowed our hearts to touch
Your presence exuded only peace
As I felt my body relax for the first time in my life
And as you took my hand in yours, ever so lightly
I knew that you were different
As our breathing aligned and we effortlessly melded into the other
Binding us together as the one we would become
Strengthening us as the individuals we will remain
We pulled each other from the deepest depths of the ocean
Breathing life back into the other
Returning the color
Erasing what had been dark for so very long
Our souls were connected by an invisible force
And I knew that you were what I had been waiting for my whole life
That I no longer needed to run
Because you existed
And you had finally arrived
