Her smile feels like the first warm light
Breaking through a long long night
Soft and radiant impossible to ignore
Something I never felt before
Her hair falls like silk around her face
And her laughter fills the empty space
A joy so genuine it becomes my own
The moment I hear it I am home
Her eyes are deep and alive with thought
Every feeling every idea she's got
Finds its way quietly into her gaze
And I could get lost there for days
When she looks at me it's hard to explain
Like being lifted weightlessly from all the pain
Still held in the safest warmest embrace
She takes me to a higher place
What amazes me most is how something so simple
Can feel so powerful can make me tremble
She's beautiful in every sense of the word
Not just what's seen but what I've heard
In the way she listens remembers and cares
In the way she's always just been there
She recalls even my most pointless rants
About the shows I love gives them a chance
And the heavier things I struggle to say
She holds with a kindness that takes breath away
It always feels like she wants to hear more
Like every word matters like I'm worth fighting for
And it gives me the sweetest kind of ache
In my chest that I never want to shake
She makes me feel seen
Like I finally know what these feelings mean
She makes me feel like I matter here
Like I have more to give than I ever knew dear
Around her I feel lighter and freer
More myself than I've ever been clearer
She meets my energy without any effort
And we move in the same rhythm together
We share inside jokes that nobody gets
Finish each other's sentences no regrets
Laughing at the same moments in time
Her heart beating right next to mine
We can talk for hours discovering ways
How much we have in common these days
While still learning from differences too
Everything is better when I'm with you
She's the most remarkable person I've known
The most extraordinary soul I've been shown
What I feel for her is something entirely new
Something I didn't know I could feel so true
I didn't know I was capable of this
This overwhelming beautiful bliss
She's extraordinary in every way
And I've never been more grateful to say
Than I am for the day our paths finally crossed
Before her I didn't know what I'd lost
Now I know what it means to be found
She's my light my joy my solid ground
Her smile feels like the first warm light
Breaking through my longest night
And I'll spend forever being grateful she's here
The most extraordinary soul I hold dear
