Sebastien Sperano

The spades are the swords of the soldier,
and you’ve been beside me in every fight.
The clubs are weapons of war.
And diamonds…
they were never what you were after.

You and I are building something that will stand —
for you and me, and for all those we love.

That’s how I know you understand the shape of my heart.

With you the waters are calm.
There is laughter.
There is peace.

What more could a man ask for?

When we met, it didn’t feel like a beginning.
It felt like a return —
as if somewhere, in another life,
we had simply agreed to find each other again.
