The One In A Million

I met you when I was half-way to nowhere;
I followed my heart, and I was not mistaken -
Each time I fell, you made me rise,
And you did guide me,
As my eyes were blind.
You were the shield for me, forsaken,
The only one to care.
And I would give a world to
Have lived through all that twice.

You opened my heart to true love,
So genuine, not known before;
Unlocked it and set me free,
Accepting that I was just me,
Impersoning that perfect guise
Of the one I'd been searching for
All my life... You're the one in a million...

Your heart is the candle of my hope,
So let it be the cradle of my love...
And only in your arms
It would feel like home.
Forgive me for the words
That weren't said on time,
For having lied to you,
When I did only lie... to myself.
And all: your tears on my pillow,
Your nightmares that I have
Like they are mine,
Your burden on my shoulders
Hurt more as love is growing older,
But for this all, I'd never see the light.

This poem is really magical I must say! It just flows really well as someone pointed out! Great write.
