spring has never been the same since i met you

the world awakens, as it always does—
the steady shift from cold to warm,
a quiet rhythm pulsing in the air—

but now it feels different,
like the earth itself breathes softer,
in tune with the love i found in you.

the way light glances off budding leaves,
the fragile petals daring to bloom—
they remind me of us, of how we met,

two souls gently unfurling,
finding home in each other.

with you, i’m understood without saying a thing.
the silence between us speaks volumes;
it holds secrets only we can hear,

stories of lifetimes before this one,
where we might have loved just as fiercely.

with you, my perspective changed.
you taught me to see the good in everything,
even in cracked sidewalks and stormy skies,

to find beauty in the shadows and light
that dance around us every day.

you are a twin to me, in ways beyond words—
our souls entwined, woven together
like roots beneath the forest floor,

bound and tangled in a place unseen,
where no storm can reach, no winter can sever.

and now, every spring reminds me
of the moment our paths crossed,
how life turned softer, colors brighter—

how the world, once just a world,
became a canvas brushed with warmth and hope,
painted by the love we share.

spring has never been the same since i met you,
and i hope it never will be,

for you are the season i carry within me,
the promise of warmth, of growth, of light—
a gentle bloom that will never fade.
