Beautiful

You were my first,
you have been the only
man
who has truly made me feel
beautiful...
-
I've spent years
in self-doubt,
skirting the limelight,
happier to be a part of
the shadows...
-
All my hopes and dreams
locked away.
Not being with the right
person
Will do that to you...
-
You have allowed
this butterfly
to finally open her wings
and fly!
-
For that,
I thank-you.
For that,
I'm forever grateful.
For that,
I fall more in love with you
each and every day.
-
I can use beautiful
to describe the love we have.
For, until you,
I have never
lived the colors
my world is now...
