 A warm fuzzy feeling filled up my heart

 With his stormy blue eyes, he made it light

 The world around me didn’t seem that dark

 He smiles at me even when I bite

 

 We get into fights, too stubborn to stop

 But we know how to pause when things get much

 Just utter marshmallow and let it drop

 Taking deep breaths to regain our touch

 

 I used to question if I was worth it

 Trying to crawl my way out of my head

 But then I met him, and he was a gift

 And for the first time, I didn’t feel dread


 Love is a funny thing to understand

 But to be completely honest it's grand


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece in a difficult time of understanding of myself. When I had met my significant other, I had just been trying to find my way out of an abusive relationship. They had helped me by just talking at the time, letting me vent. Then I got that gall to break up with my abuser. I intern got with them. At the time I thought that I wasn't worth it. I've been with my current S/O for almost three years, and he's been able to help me learn how to love myself. And I hope this poem expresses that and my adoration for what he's helped me see.
