Lovers' Diary - Yolie

I first met Yolie on Twitter, then in person, back before she started blogging, before she tumblrd. She is gorgeous and I'm so pleased to be able to call her a friend. She writes music, she sings and she plays piano, all of them well. I am so very jealous. Take the time to check out her other work. This piece is about her current beau, also someone I know in real life. He's just as awesome as she is and as you'll soon read, she thinks so too.


How I Came To Love You


You are healing the pain of my past.
The mental scars left from injuries inflicted
by someone so careless
are gradually fading because you are with me.


When I first met you,
I was mesmerised by your river-coloured eyes
The way they stared into mine
like you were reading my soul.


I was seduced by your dark skin and long black locks.
I also loved your tattoos & facial fuzz
(I love rubbing my cheek against yours)
To me, you looked like a character from a warrior fantasy novel.


As we got to know eachother
I became seduced by your sharp mind
Your passion, your inner strength, your self discipline
And the way you smiled at me knowingly & mischeviously.


When I told you about what had happened to me
What I'd seen, what I'd done
You didn't walk away, you listed patiently, then
you let my tears flow onto your strong shoulders


You told me it was going to be alright from here on in
And that you wouldn't leave me


I started to fall in love
with everything you are
and the way you loved everything about me.


You don't try to change me
but instead you encourage me to begin to love myself
Find happiness in life
and move on from the past.


I know it won't be a fairytale
we will have our ups and downs.
But I know that we will get through it all together


Because you love me
And I adore you
My Dark Warrior Prince.
