There’s absolutely nothing that could ever really compare to the feeling of being in your arms
The safety and security
You are my fortress, my refuge
Like nothing in the world could ever hurt me when you’re next to me
Your warmth consumes me whole
Suffocating me with forehead and nose kisses
Giggles and that award-winning smile
The safest place in the entire world is in the crevices of your neck
With your beard scratching my face
And your hands wrapped around my body
Thank you for seeing me
For holding me and wiping my tears
Allowing me to take up space on this earth
And ask you a billion questions
Listening to my thoughts and worries
Making me laugh like a little girl
My baby, my lovebug, my little ray of light
You are one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced in this life
I pray that you’ll lead a blessed life
Achieve all of your dreams and aspirations
You deserve the world and more, my love
