I had to take some time to find my way.

But my love was unconditional and meant to stay.

I would be lying if I said I didn't feel remorse for doing so.

I should have found my way without running or coming to blows.

When we speak again, I'll have thought of a million ways to say I'm sorry.

It will be the end of sleepless nights and long-term worry.

Every day and night without you feels like an eternity.

But seeing your face when I close my eyes and kissing you in my dreams gives me clarity.

I've never had much to offer in terms of wealth, so my creativity became my currency.

Before you, I never thought to prioritize my health and love with such urgency.

I've never been up to par with the latest themes or fashions.

The material world doesn't drive my passions:

You could have a million in the bank or just a single penny to your name,

and I would continue to love you just the same.

A smile spreads across my face when I look at your pictures,

and I think of all the dreams and a life where you're a permanent fixture.

I feel you are awaiting the perfect time, seeking the ideal gift,

and articulating the perfect words to say.

But you don't realize that my loving you unconditionally,

means you're already perfect to me in every single way.
