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.
