I was in my twenties

I was in my twenties
When I met a guy,
His heart so real
Like a diamond inside.
He used to tell stories, and I would laugh,
As if he would do anything to make me smile.
We shared tears and happiness,
The tears were mine,
For my heart was like a dry old pine,
And he was as comforting as old red wine.
He lit me up like Christmas lights,
Even when not before my eyes.
I was alone among thousands,
Until he held my hand,
Ignoring all my flaws,
And restoring me like a holy chant.

In my twenties,
I met a soul,
Who nestled in my heart
Like a Taylor Swift song.
With a pretty face and deep eyes,
He became my guardian angel,
And set my castle so high.
He awakened love in me,
Like the first flower blooming after autumn.
He calmed the waves in my heart,
And knew where the white pearl lay hidden
In my mind so deep,
As if he were filled with wisdom.
On a cold winter night,
At 11:45,
I realized he was that blur guy,
Who runs with me on beaches,
And brings flowers every night.
In the very next moment, I felt LOVE,
And magic happened when he spoke those words.

Now I can say,
In my twenties,
I met a guy,
Who was perfect beyond imagination,
Coming in a white shirt every night,
Sitting on a unicorn,
With a bouquet of tulips in sunshine,
Fulfilling my KDrama fantasies,
And tales of princesses and Snow White,
Whom I'm dying to meet,
In the garden of dandelions,
Beneath the beautiful Southern lights
