You were, and are, always there for me in the darkest of times,
Lifting my spirits with your dorky rhymes.
You gave me comfort and a place to call home,
The kind of safety and solace I had never known.
No one else had bothered to talk to me much,
Much less understand,
But you have walked alongside me, guiding me hand-in-hand.
I can't help but smile, for with you I am happy—truly content.
I feel like you're too good for me, the devil's trick of dark intent of which he seems hell bent.
I might not be weak, but I'm not strong enough
Yet you've been here giving me strength to fight through a life so rough.
I love how different you are from all the rest,
Because truly, my love, you're the best.
You're the best friend I could ever ask for,
And the most understanding girlfriend I could ever hope for or dream of.
I only wish I could repay you and do more for you.
I could never lose you, for fear my soul would be torn asunder.
My heart would be ripped to shreds, pain dragging me under.
You, dearest love, I will always hold dear and deeply cherish.
I will love you forever, even long after I perish.
I say that I love you, and that's very true,
But I fear I don't say it quite as often as I ought to or as much as you deserve.
You mean so much to me, and that shall never change,
And you, in fact, mean everything to me: more than I can begin to explain.
I can't imagine life without you, and cannot bear for us to be apart,
For you are a thief, who has stolen my heart.
And even when I felt betrayal's sting tear me down and drag me under, you held out your hand to me and lifted me out of my despair.
You were the one friend that truly remained
And because of you, I've lost less than I've gained.
You deserve the world and I wish I could give it to you.
And if there was some way I could give you more, there's nothing I wouldn't do.
I owe you so much more than I can offer in return.
You've given me hope and purpose, and from you, I still have much to learn.
If there were stronger words than 'I love you' I'd use them.
Even the desire to use stronger words overwhelms me.
You calmed my anxiety and comforted me in my anguish.
You've seen me at my darkest and granted me light.
My demons flee at the sight of the gentle smile you brandish,
And slither back into the deepest depths of night.
You gave me what I needed and what my soul desperately craved,
Which was love and acceptance, something so new—so foreign—to me.
To despair and loneliness I had been enslaved.
Yet in my seemingly ceaseless imprisonment, you had made me free.
I wish you'd never leave me, seeing as here, beside you, I miss you enough already.
Stay.
So that I can see your brilliant, resplendent eyes each morning that I'm alive.
Without you, I feel as though my spirit is heavy and unsteady; broken and flawed.
But with you, I know I'll survive, for you I will thrive.
Because I love you with all of my heart.

Heya pals. Heya beautiful, assuming you're reading this ;)
Though I argue all of you are beautiful people, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Hope you don't mind the loving ramblings of a hopeless romantic...you'll end up seeing a lot more of this.
Sincerely, the one and only Lord of darkness.
