Ode to Corey Ryan

I never want to cause him heartache or pain.
He was never a true believer in love before,
he has been hurt one too many times before.
Lies, secret affairs behind his back.
He gave her another chance,
she stabbed him in the back.
Then one day, he found me when no one else was looking,
how did he know just where I would be?
Those hours spent talking much about nothing brought us closer and closer…
I was absentmindedly falling in love with his charming ways.

His deep hazel eyes look at me with sincerity.
Dirty blonde hair all scruffy and sporting the bed head look.
Skin so soft and the stubbly hair on his face,
a smile worth a million bucks,
that little freckle on the back of his neck,
the casual, relaxed, yet confident way he stands,
the way he walks with humble pride, and
the suave sound of his voice.
It's the little things I notice that make me crazy for him!

"You are so beautiful" he tells me with great passion!
With his caring smile, he looks at me sincerely.
A peck on the cheek and a caress from his hand,
oh, how the little things mean the most.
His hug fills me with a sense of security and confidence, and
a kiss that makes me feel as though I could fly.
His arms are my shelter and his heart is my refuge.
When he holds me close and says “I love you” I can hear his heart beating and
in my heart I know this is where I want to be, this is how I want to feel.

I'm afraid of losing him,
he's afraid of losing me.
Often I wonder why hearts such as ours often astray.
He keeps growing on me more and more with each passing day.
Somehow, he made his way into my heart and
forever there will he stay.

This four letter word called love.
After all, what is love but a mere feeling?
How does one know they are falling in love?
Well, I know what true love feels like.

It's the sense of completion he gives me.
A sense of home, a shelter from the cruelties of the world,
the undying care he shows me and I show him,
the way I feel when I am with him; my happy true self.
I cannot keep secrets, neither can he.
I don't have to hide, or be embarrassed when I am with him.
I can run to him with my problems.
"It's OK baby" he tells me and
with a touch from his hand on my cheek, I know he cares.
The way he always looks me in the eyes and says "My baby, forever and ever."

There are no real words to describe my love for him.
It's like experiencing an awakening,
it's like seeing something so beautiful it leaves one speechless,
it's like experiencing the ultimate feeling of true happiness!
Sometimes I find myself smiling for no apparent reason,
then  realize it was him that was on my mind.
It is him who truly understands me,
it is him who accepts me for who I am as a person.
I can confide in him. 
He is the person who has the key to my heart.

There's nothing in the world that could ever change what he and I have.
What he and I have is special and rare.
The sense of security he gives me when he holds me,
the way he can make me laugh when I don't even want to smile,
the way I can run to him when troubles are blinding my eyes,
the way he calls me beautiful and says  I am perfect in his eyes.
The touch of his hand is enough to make me feel as though I own the world.
He's the reason why I can pick myself up when I fall down.
People say it's  crazy and  it will never last...  Well, they're just jealous!
I'll stand up with Corey Ryan forever, he and I will never be apart!
