Helpmeet

I’d given up on finding him,

my helpmeet, but I went out on a limb.

I gave my number to a friend

who insisted again and again and again

that his best friend would really like me,

“You’ll hit it off for sure, you’ll see.”

A few weeks later, on the fourth of July,

you messaged me and I replied.

You enticed me with your intelligence,

you even set a new precedence

for what I desire most in relationship;

deep, honest, spiritual fellowship.

I’m thankful for every moment with you;

no one has loved me quite like you do.

You are the Adam to my Eve;

I’ve felt our spirits interweave.

It feels like you’ve always been mine.

Where have you been this whole time?

Never will I let you go

and I’ll fight for us when feelings plateau.

We’ve helped each other learn and grow,

and everyday I overflow

with the love I feel inside my bones.

I know we’ll survive all unknowns.
