You are the one

I love you not because nobody loves me,

Not out of desperation or despair,

But because you are the sun that warms my soul,

The gentle breeze that caresses my hair.

~~~~~~

I love you not because I am empty,

But because you fill my cup to the brim,

With the sweet nectar of affection,

With every touch, every whispered hymn.

~~~~~~

I love you not because I am incomplete,

But because you complement who I am,

Like a missing puzzle piece finally found,

Completing the picture, like a perfect slam.

~~~~~~~~

I love you not because I am broken,

But because you mend my cracks with care,

With your tender words and gentle touch,

You heal my wounds, and for that, I declare.

I love you not because I am lonely,

But because you make my world complete,

With your laughter, your presence, your love,

You make my heart skip a joyful beat.

~~~~~

I love you not because nobody loves me,

But because you are my one true light,

You illuminate my darkest nights,

Guiding me through, like a star shining bright.

So, my love, please understand,

That my love for you is not born of need,

But a genuine, unconditional love,

A love that's boundless, a love that's freed.
