Yes, I Know You

Yes, I know you.
I always have.
Long before my legs could carry me
Long before my first life test
Long before my body began shaping
Long before my first kiss.
You are love.
And I know you.
People spend lifetimes searching
Believing love to be an "it"
Love, my dear, is you a person.
Discovering a heart to believe in.
Yes, I know you.
You are Respect and Faith.
You are Honor and Trust.
You are my guiding light.
You are the reason we have "us"
Yes, I know you.
And I want you before all else.
And I need you near to quiet my fears.
To shape me as imperfectly perfect as you
I love you.
I always have...
