Assurance

Since I was you, I've wanted you.
You've always been my desire.
Long time coming, for years and years
Thoughts have revolved around you--
Your features, your character, the manner in which you'll grow,
Who'll you become.
I've imagined and dreamed
A time times a thousand
My pride, my joy, my love--all attuned to you.
Now you are no longer a dream.
You've come into being.
I know it's been rough, a hard patch of time,
But please understand that I'm scared.
You are the door, an entrance into an unknown world
And I have no choice but to cross the threshold.
I don't know that I'm ready.
Can I ever be?
But know this:
My love for you overflows, a current strong and unstoppable
And I am pulled along, unable and unwilling to resist.
Never doubt that you have become my life
And I would give mine for yours.
When you sense my distress
And worry that you're wrong
Stop!
Never believe that, for you are as right as can be.
I will get through, past the weeks and the months.
And when you're finally in my arms
A quiet calm will descend
And you will know as well as I that you've finally found your home.
