Ode to my Beloved: A Sonnet

If rain pours down, is sunshine far behind?
I’ve wasted so much time believing lies
Until I met a man who changed my mind,
And stole my heart too, much to my surprise.

If winter comes, is springtime far away?
I didn’t think I’d be so blessed with this,
A man who shows he cares for me each day;
A love like ours is truly peaceful bliss.

When dusk prevails, the dawn will break again.
He’s shown me how to truly love myself.
Our memories are far more precious than
Material things I could put on a shelf.

For as long as I’m his, this I know to be true:
There is nothing in this world that I cannot do.
