My definition of love

It was with the help of someone incredibly talented, wise, and absolutely special who got me where I am:
However it also took a lot of hard work, break downs,
Both big and small mistakes like every human;
And a lot of tears on my end
to start to learn to love myself even half a fraction
of the way I used to.
He's makes up the better half of me...
For he is the oxygen I breathe.
The dark to my light;
The positive to my negative,
The adult to my child at heart on occasions;
And sometimes even the child to my adult
Ahaha.
He is also the generosity to the selfishness of others,
The understanding in a judge mental world.
He is the glass of water in my times of dehydration;
He is the safety to my fears.
The comfort to my unease;
The calm to my anger.
He is the humor to my seriousness,
but he never fails to make me feel better.
He is the love to my self hatred;
The compliments to my own insults against myself.
He is the necklace I wear around my neck-
Next to my heartbeat where he belongs.
White lace ribbon in honor of his cherished memories,
And hopefully more to come.
He is the other half of what makes me whole and all of my everything;
He is every beat of my heart and every breath I inhale;
And he is very well the other part of me;
He is the soulmate whom I will never be complete without.
He is just as much a part of me as I am him
Most importantly though;
He's the very definition of love to me.

This poem was kind of an accident.. I added onto it but it was originally a part of a conversation. Isn't it amazing what us poets do??
