the partner

he wasn’t what i thought he’d be
so many men they grow like weeds
though not quite free
he accepts me for me
the woman in his dreams

a spark, a flame ignites my soul
that feeling lost long ago
all that’s left is moving forward
clouds replaced with rainbows
the sun casting shadows

i wish i may and wish i might
have your body next to mine
dark turned light
and shining bright
your fingers tracing down my spine

genuine, outside the norm
strong arms keep me warm
he offers shelter from the storms
a partner in every sense of the word
finally free to see the world

colors brighten, he smiles wide
the breath i’ve held no longer confined
an ease, no effort chains untied
you brought me back to a time
when the future is up to us to rewrite
