Found an old poem I must have written over a year ago...

Agape

My grandparents met at a Bible study
My grandma was sixteen at the time
A few weeks after meeting they were married
My uncle proposed to my aunt
A few days after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer
You were there through it all 
You have lived through generations
You are every encyclopedia in every language
You have seen the world through every lens 
and I 
I found You on a hot summers day
In the lines of a poem my grandfather wrote
I found You on the day I finally found myself
I had ignored You for years
Yet You still embarrassed me with open arms
You wrapped me in Your love like a cocoon
Protecting me from the harsh conditions of this world 
You were there through it all
You are everything
You're the nights my brother almost killed himself but didn't 
You're the day my parents met
You're the first painted line on the Sistine Chapel 
You're the kick off whistle at the world cup
You're the song that has yet to be written
You are all consuming 
My eternal lover
Our romance is an epic
You paid the highest price for my sins
You brought me alive before I was just living.
