Once a Stranger, Now a Lover

You came into my world unexpectedly,
And everything took a turn for the better.
Your warm eyes, your lingering laugh,
The sincerity in the way you speak.
And the kindness you showed me,
All became a part of my life.

As you unfolded yourself to me,
I discovered more and more beauty.
I have never seen so much,
Gentleness in one person.
Without even realizing it,
You were slowly making a place,
For yourself in my heart.

At times it used to be so hard,
To feel so close in a relationship.
But now it seems so easy to feel close to you,
Can't really tell you how nice that feels.
Now then I realize that I had never known,
How it felt to love and be loved,
Until I was loved by you.
