Like a pair of old slippers,<br />I feel comfort and<br />warmth as I slip into you.<br />No, that is too crude.<br /><br />Like the match to the wick,<br />I ignite when we touch.<br />My counterpart and<br />life's purpose.<br />Yes, as though I've known you my whole life.<br /><br />Every scar, <br />every failure<br />has become an affirmation<br />of what should be:<br />You.<br />Yes, as though I've loved you my whole life.
