Just You and I

I've been believing this lie,
the one that says I must be flawless in order to be near you.
The deception that caused me to question my self-worth and my love for you.
I wanted to get these pieces of myself in the right places,
so I wouldn't have to go through healing phases when I'm with you.
Yet you were the healing I needed all along.
The quiet and safe spaces you provided me with,
where I could simply be,
Where I lay out my pieces and you didn't judge them based on how they appeared,
but instead saw them for what they could be,
gave me hope that maybe,
just maybe,
we could be.
Just You and I.
I know I was selfish because I didn't see,
or perhaps I chose not to see,
that you had your own pieces.
You had wounds that needed to be healed.
I know I should have done something,
when you tried to show me and tell me what you were going through.
But even if all I can do is hold your hand for the rest of our lives, I'll still choose you.
And if you're broken and confused,
you don't have to wait till you're all patched up for me to choose you.
It's a little late, I realize that.
But if you allow me,
I might be able to provide you with the room and solitude you need to simply be.
where we can sit and look,
and pick through our pieces,
and maybe,
just maybe,
we can be,
Just You and I.

My first attempt at a love letter

I remember telling you the day we sat down on those cold tiles that you were the silver lining to my cloudy days. So today, I'm writing to you, my silver lining. I've wanted to write one of these to you for a long time. I told myself, though, that the timing was never perfect. I'll be happy to put pen to paper and express what a joy your presence has been for me, even if you never read this. If I were required to give explanations for my feelings toward you, I would have a long list that would continue to get longer over time. The one that would top them all, though, is just this: It's because of you that I was able to be the person I wanted to be. It was dark here until you brought light. Since that initial afternoon, there have been several incidents that have felt like a roller coaster. Nevertheless, despite the ups and downs, apologies and quiet. I now have a better understanding of what it means to be human. And even if this never happens. I'll be happy to h...

Day 2

Hello my Hope, Today I came up with a wonderful analogy for human hearts, even though it does sound a bit far fetched. I think that they are like glass sculptures, beautiful to behold and a marvel to look at. In the light, the shine with a million colors and reflect it as it falls upon them. They mesmerize and dazzle , they sparkle and gleam like nothing you have ever seen. This gives me the thought that with the right environment, ones heart can truly shine and light up the worlds of others. And I am a living testament to that, at least I think I once was. But back to my point, no matter how dark it might seem, if you shine just the right amount of light, warmth and love on it at just the right spot, little by little it will begin to shine. And even though the process might take a little while. If you don’t give up, the results will completely be worth the wait. Now you might not entirely agree with what I'm saying, in fact I don’t want you to, because that is a very naïve way of ...

Flutter by

She hides her smile, like a treasure, it must be found, but if it means that I have to swim through the darkest days, and dig through pieces of a broken heart, I will gladly do so, if only to see it once more, and feel them again, The Butterflies, As her smile makes all my troubles flutter by.
