Him

He's my friend

Who turned into a best friend
And then turned into a life partner
And the transition was so smooth
And organic that it's meant to be.
Something solid built with mutual care
Over a period of time.

Someone who has always been a good man.
Someone who has an open heart

Strong, kind and compassionate.
Believes in spirituality or himself

Religion or a higher power or Karma
Universe or God or Destiny
That motivates him to do good in the world.

The means are irrelevant, the end matters.

His happiness comes from within

From the life he has lived

And from the life he is planning for himself

And his romantic partner.

He intended for her to be his other half.

And that was that.

They're a unit, a team,
They're family.

In an equal partnership

They supported each other

In becoming the best versions of themselves.

Like a mountain

Steady, stable, secure.

Self-full, responsible.

Someone I'd want to talk to

Someone I'd want to share

My deepest fears with.

Someone I can trust

Someone I'd choose and he'd choose

To co-create the rest of our lives with.

Someone who is worthy

Of the kind of love I have to offer.

Someone who has character and integrity.

More than anything else

Someone who I respect

For the man he is.
