To hold your hand,
exploring uncharted paths,
is almost the greatest feeling
in this world that I've known.

Yet nothing beats
the way my heart skips
when you look at me in the eyes,
and say you love me.

Despite the rain,
Despite the fights,
our love pulled through.

Horrible words said,
heartache reigned,
and still we stayed on.

Love, like what we agreed,
so intangible,
so unreliable,
and so wonderful.

This life,
which I detest so utterly,
has only rewarded me with one thing.
You.
