You were the most beautiful of beautiful. Of beautiful.

I never thought I would know someone like you.

It sounds like a cliché

but it’s true.

Your eyes and smile

the eyes of Heaven and smile of God.

And when I held your hands.

I held the world.

Your  laughter filled the room of my aspirations.

The closeness of your chest against mine,

electricity burning my limbs.

And I held the stars when I held you in my arms.

God, I could not have been more. A simple mortal like me.

I had the unimaginable bliss of having been yours.
