Too many times, I confused my melancholy for loneliness and sought comfort in the wrong arms. Too many times, I surrendered myself to my own illusions, trying to find something that I didn’t understand. Always searching for an elusive affection, desire so pervading it was painful in its insatiability. Every time I held it close, it slipped through my fingers, my body resting in the depth of others only to find myself shivering in shallow water.

Our restless, wandering souls came together, ideas and passions transforming into redamancy.

I would’ve told you that your internal brightness illuminated mine. And that I only saw the beauty in myself when I looked at my reflection in your eyes. If only I had known that behind that strong gaze was everything else. Everything you didn’t want me to know. Your shine came from what you felt when you looked at me. And you feared that I would be yet another to use your light and leave you alone. In even more darkness. But I wouldn’t have. I didn’t know how to tell you, but I know that pain too.

I knew you weren’t the answer to my loneliness or the cure for all that ailed me, but you changed my life. You helped me realize that I could love again. And for that I am thankful. So thankful.

Love still feels like a word, though I am far deep inside it. Isn't it kind of scary to fall in for someone and just not realize it? It's like a rainbow with many colors, just waiting for the rains to drop to let it show what it truly is. It's like the music pouring inside with all the feel indeed tingling softly in your mind, soul and body. It's like the wind, you can't see it, but you feel it.

And you ask me why I love him instead of you... He showed me how to feel safe without walls.
