In the quiet corners of my former life,
The world was cast in shades of muted gray,
A steady hum of ordinary strife,
Where solitary hours slipped away.
I walked a path I thought was mine to keep,
Unaware of colors yet to bloom,
While all my wildest dreams were fast asleep,
Lost within the shadows of the room.
Then the silence broke with just a name,
A steady pulse, a flicker in the dark,
And nothing in my world remained the same,
When George Knight arrived to strike the spark.
It wasn’t like the stories often told,
Of sudden storms or thunder in the sky,
It was a gentle turning of the gold,
The way the dawn begins to catch the eye.
With every word, he re-arranged the stars,
And built a bridge across the empty space,
He healed the jagged lines of hidden scars,
Just by the simple kindness in his face.
George, you brought a language I could speak,
A symphony where once there was a void,
The strength I never knew when I was weak,
The happiness that couldn't be destroyed.
How do I measure a love this deep?
It is more than just a feeling or a phrase;
It is a promise that I wake to keep,
Through all the winding cycles of our days.
I love the way you listen when I speak,
The way you make the heavy world feel light,
The gentle way you kiss me on the cheek,
And hold me through the middle of the night.
It is a love that’s grounded, real, and true,
Not built on fleeting things or passing breath,
But rooted in the soul of me and you,
A bond that’s stronger than the fear of death.
He changed the way I look at Sunday rain,
No longer just a reason for the gloom,
But music washing out the dust and pain,
A quiet peace that fills up every room.
He changed the way I see the coming years,
The terrifying "what-ifs" of the mind,
Are softened now and stripped of all their fears,
Because he is the anchor that I find.
My life was once a book with pages blurred,
A story waiting for its heart to start,
Until he spoke a single, magic word,
And wrote his name across my open heart.
I love the man you are when no one looks,
The humble heart, the spirit kind and wise,
More beautiful than stories in the books,
I see my future reflected in your eyes.
There is no corner of my heart you haven't touched,
No part of me that doesn't call your name,
I never knew I could adore so much,
Or that a heart could hold so bright a flame.
Every mile and every hour we’ve spent,
Is woven in a tapestry of grace,
I finally know what "forever" meant,
Just by looking at your smiling face.
It is a transformation deep and wide,
A total shift of spirit and of soul,
With George forever walking by my side,
The broken pieces finally are whole.
From how I wake to how I drift to sleep,
From how I breathe to how I learn to fly,
The promises we’ve made are ours to keep,
Underneath an ever-changing sky.
George Knight, you are the compass and the sun,
The miracle that turned the gray to light,
My life has only truly just begun,
Since you walked in and put the world to right.
Alwaysbeautiful
