Always

Extended your hand,
when I was alone,
you held me so tight,
then swallowed me whole.

I laid in your heart,
then made it my home,
lit a bright candle,
to then watch it glow.

You traveled through space,
navigated time,
made life a movie,
I laughed at your crimes.

I tugged at your heart,
whispered all you felt,
ignited your sparks,
made the hot wax melt.

Lived your adventure,
peeked through your wide eyes.
Till one fated day,
I tugged at your side.

Exposed profound thoughts,
we laughed till we cried.
Clutched to each other,
made days into rides.

Apart we dissolve,
entwined so solid.
Your chest my pillow,
offers tears solace.

Form a fairyland
where we both fly free,
together we stand,
true love guaranteed.
