Euphoria

 Not sure if it was the way you held my hand in yours,

or the way you cradled my heart like it was your own,

or the way you looked me in the eyes, reassuring me that it would always be alright.

Or maybe it was the way you hugged me like I was your home,

kissing my forehead, allowing me to exhale, keeping me grounded all at once,

or maybe it was your thoughtfulness,

the way you would always bring me my favourite chocolate or hot beverage,

the way you treasured the little things, like taking walks on a cool evening,

or simply sitting with me on the edge of a cliff, taking in beautiful scenery...

your smile captivated me, your unconditional love lifted me,

never have I had a love take me so high,

piercing and reaching my soul at the deepest level,

your love was simply euphoric.
