It Was Always You

August 20, 2021

At times when my heart was ripe

with a selfless ache to nurture another,

at times when my heart was rife

with love springing from somewhere deep

inside me that I thought would someday

burst open my heart,

I knew the safest place

to pour it all into was you,

it was always you.

<p>This poet makes me think of a person who is truly in love and is very comfortable with that person.</p>
