You have changed me. 

You turned my life around unexpectedly. 

Thank you, for  filling my heart with joy, happiness and satisfaction. 

Thank you, for giving me reason. 

You were exactly what I didn’t know I needed. 

Everything I didn’t ask for but I still received it. 

Your silence, while everything else was screaming in my face. 

You are my safe place, my saviour in a way. 

Because of you I know peace, because of you I know change. 

You led me across the river, as light and soft as a feather.

You gave me direction, you gave me hope. 

You were meant to be a getaway, a breath when I was gasping for air.

Oh, you were so much more.  

You approached me, held on to every cell, you never let go. 

You changed me into someone better.

Because of you I am.

To my Lover, Dublin.
