Heartstrings

When it pours, I seek a umbrella.
When it snows, I seek shelter.

When it's hot, I seek the shade.
When it's cold, I seek a fire.

When I'm lost, I seek directions.
When I'm confused, I seek guidance.

When I'm upset, I seek comfort.
When I'm troubled, I seek assurance.

You are the umbrella,
Covering me from the pouring rain;
The shelter,
Offering me protection.

You're cool and collected,
When things heat up;
The heat and passion,
In a bone-chilling situation.

The path you point out,
Stands out clearly from all others;
Impeccable timing,
You provide the right words at the right time.

An enveloping embrace,
No words are needed;
Kisses and hugs, along with
Small yet not unimportant words, soothes the beast.

Running and running,
My life's story;
From others I flee,
To you I sprint.

3 small, yet significant words,
I would always utter.
Even when we fight,
Even when we hurt.

I've said it once,
I'll say it again.
I love you,
I always will.
