You made me believe

You made me believe
in angels
and something of the divine
when you became mine.

You struck my humanity
with greater beauty
than I expected
from any human being.

Yet your spirit
blazed through every word
and every deed
in much more than sincerity

making me believe
that your love is something
great and powerful.

An entity that cannot perish,
nor grow dim with time,
or age or changes in our reality

and in you I see reflected
the man
that I ought to be.
