The Stars Have Aligned

I wrote this lovely spoken word poem in dedication to my boyfriend who has been oh so wonderful to me since we've been together and I finally got in the mood to write a love poem... now that I actually know how it feels. Enjoy!

---

Dearest Max a Million,
Let me begin again to tell you how the stars have aligned…
When the pink-sunsetted skies and spiritual guides casted a powerful glow to continue the flow,
A case of the feels flew down my spine as my heart notified me today was going to be something special…
As I saw a shooting star whiz past the emptiness I once held in my glass, I was blessed with fairy dust being sprinkled upon me to convert my glass from empty to overflowing!

A few hours later, in a suburban apartment containing computer nerds, you blissfully graced my presence…
I felt your soul radiating throughout the main room as my senses were drawn to your essence in the same way a cat smells food and runs to go get it!
Your energy levels synced with mine behind your hazel eyes,
Enabling me to feel your gleaming aura
And tell me the stars have aligned…

Immediately, we form a team of protagonists and touch our superhero rings together like dorky cartoon characters to combine our powers, uniting as one being, while we combat the forces of evil and injustice!
Your significance to me is infinite because of how we both empower each other to exude our greatest strengths and turn each other’s weaknesses into superpowers!
Every time I feel the warmth melt from your hands I feel your entirety ejected into my veins through your gently beautiful soul.
When you were halfway around the world in India, I was still able to sense your presence thanks to the art of communication.

Before we met, I was consumed by a past flooded with pain and plentiful amounts of sorrows… until you mended me with your healing love and full-blown passions.
Listening to your heart beat enables me to notice how our different drums roar in unison as you inspire me to play more confidently, more boisterously, and to the best of my ability.
You embrace how different I am and see it as something beautiful in a way no one else can even fathom.
The more time we spend together, I crave to delve deeper into your core to know why and how you are who you really are,
But no matter what, I know the stars have aligned and you are all mine!

Throughout our adventures and struggles together, you're always there to hold my hand,
To catch me when I feel my world is going to crumble,
To hold me when I'm an erupting volcano in a fetal position by your side,
To instantly forgive me for my wrongdoings,
To kick turbulence to the curb and eliminate the toxic waste in my life
To share the same visions of success,
To accept me for how redonculously nerdy I am,
To be the person I can share my silly self with more than 100% with,
To be the special someone I can engage deep conversations about the meaning of everything
To be my go to person for book recommendations,
To be the taste tester I can share my food experiments and homemade soupie a la Rebs when you’re sick,
To let the tides pass during a trivial argument and allow me to communicate,
To inspire me to conquer each day and stand up for justice
And to engage in our glory walk, envisioning our forever’s together,
With me knowing how wonderful it is to be able to write a laundry list of reasons of how wonderful you are to me and still be able to continue writing indefinitely!

You are my rock, my set of ears that listens to me and appreciates me…
You are the missing piece of my puzzle I've been looking for my entire life!
Your unwavering support and being there for me means everything to me…

And just so you know, my darling:
I choose you isn't enough to express how much you mean to me and tell you how much I miss you when you’re gone… even if it’s for a day!
I love you isn't enough to show the depth of my feelings towards you, especially when you financially save me!
Thank you isn't enough to display my gratitude for all you've done for me!
You’re amazing isn’t even meaningful enough to tell you how incredibly beautiful and noble of a person you are and how much I love feeling your being even when I’m asleep…

I can't wait to continue unfolding our lives together down as our love at first sight was meant to be!
Time is a meaningless explanation of how love works, especially with you because you’re sweeter than my favorite blue pixie stick!
Your love helped a new version of me emerge from the previous darkness which is now healed by the ultimate medicine from your heart, which I love sharing with you too!
You are so sacred to me to where I can add you as a character in my book of wonder!
I want to embrace our lives as one as we continue trekking down the yellow brick road together skipping through the flowers and holding hands!
Your endless amazingness and gleaming glow behind your hazel eyes and your powerful presence is exactly how and why I know the stars have aligned,
And I'm more than lucky and thankful to be a superhero with you!
Because I confidently know that my heart is yours, and your heart is mine!

Love Rebs!
