The Gift of You

When you whispered into my heart,
A softness that somehow tore me apart,
The contrast of what I'd known before now,
The vastness, out of darkness, freedom endow.

Something awoke within me that I'd never known,
A spirit of completeness inside me alone,
The gift of you, it changed me inside,
I'll always be different, my heart you inspired.

I now carry a piece of you, forever I know,
You're tucked in my heart, wherever I go,
Sometimes in silence, I feel you with me,
The essence of you, intertwined with me.

I love and appreciate what you gave me in life,
Something so precious it can't be described,
You helped me to find, the key to myself,
A gift meaning more than possessions or wealth.
