Reside in your arms

With one touch you entered my soul,
As if your own body were its key,
Not a thing of metal nor gold,
Yet a sensation of love that came,
Through fingertips and eyes,
Through your steady breaths,
Through your sweet words,
And the resolution of my survival self,
To never let anyone sit at my core,
Surrendered in that fleeting moment,
Realising that it now forever was in love,
Silencing the whisperings of doubt,
Finding the ways forwards in any storm,
Finding the resolution to protect come what may,
Finding a new inner strength had ignited,
Relived to discover my own pure self,
That in real love there is no temptation to change,
Because it is our real selves that bonded,
It is our real selves that each other loves.
