My Lover, My Best Friend Poem by Natasa To

My Lover, My Best Friend

You're the hand I reach for when the world feels cold,
The one who knows my stories, the ones I've never told.
You're laughter in my sadness, my calm when days are tough,
My favorite kind of comfort when life feels a little rough.

You know my silly moments, my dreams and all my fears,
You've seen my brightest smiles and stood beside my tears.
And somehow, through it all, you never walked away—
You chose to love me deeper with every passing day.

You're not just the one who makes my heart beat fast,
You're the friend I prayed for, the love I hope will last.
With you, I can be myself, no pretending, no disguise,
You see the real me—and still look at me with loving eyes.

So if I could choose again, through every life I find,
I'd choose you as my lover, my soulmate, and my kind.
Because love is something beautiful, but this I know is true:
The greatest gift my heart has found
is being loved by you.
