You

You arent what I expected
Now in most occasions id worry
My heart beating fast
My palms clammy
Brain squished
Emotions raw
But with you its calm
Like the ocean after a hurricane
This isnt bout impressing you
You are beautiful
Not because of your face
Or your clothes
But for your soul
Which builds you from the ground up
And the fire in your heart
It burns
Smolders
Yearns
Calling for someone to tame it
Yet rebeling against the tamer
The master of your heart
My name
My goal
My desire
You arent what I expected
Love that appears lile lightening
Just as bright
Just as quick
Yet so powerful that it shakes our world
There is no way to explain it
Raw and deep
It fills your body
And consumes my mind
Constantly growing
Forever changing and evolving
Every day spent, every moment enjoyed
Yet the fear of the future looms
Its head like that of the serpent
Its shadow casting over the moon
Blocking out our dreams
But also shielding our disappointments
Dark parts of our lives
That we all hide behind
Using as our drive
To prosper and thrive
Schemes of passion
Which lead to warm touches
Cold hearts
Soft kisses
And hard glares
You arent what I expected
Full of lies and lust
But fueled by truth and love
A woman of many hats
Many faces and parts
A lover and a friend
An allie and a mentor
A true love serves more than one purpose
And true love doesnt repeat
True love is overwhelming
But yet so incomplete
It fills a void we didnt know existed
And once its gone it cannot be forgotten
So how did we do it
Never knowing we existed
A day came
And things changed
You arent what I expected
You are that and more
