And for that, I loved him all the more


We laid together last night.
In the silence of a dark room.
He wrapped his arms around me,
and said he never wanted to let me go.

Tears started rolling down my face
as I turned to look at him.
He took his hand and wiped
my tears away in such a gentle way.

He knew my pains, and he knew
how much I had suffered.
He knew my fears resulting from
past relationships and such.

He understood why I moved
away so quickly, and he didn't mind.
He didn't take my actions in offense
like most people do.

And for that, I loved him all the more!

He respected my judgement on
how I felt about him, and others.
He talked to me like no other,
comforting me with every word he said.

He took me in his arms, and first
asked permission to steal a kiss.
And then he did so with such grace
that I wanted to melt right in his arms.

He promised me nice dreams,
and nice dreams I did have.
He promised to be there as I awoke,
and there he was when I turned over.

He kissed me with such gentleness
as to lure me into a spell called LOVE.
He held me so close and tight,
making want to stay there for an eternity.

And for that, I loved him all the more!

This is beautiful and a wonderful reason to love him even more!

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
