I Take You Where You Want To Go, I Tell You All You Need To Know.

Black.

Hollow.

Cold.

I am black, I am hollow, and I am cold. There's nothing left for me here.

But there's a light...

There's this beacon of hope, this

Person

Who I just can't

Shake

From

My thoughts.

This

Person who

Is so

Beautiful and

Wonderful and

Everything I could ever hope

To want.

And I do want her. I crave her.

I long for her touch,

Her smell,

Her kiss.

My heart is swelling with this new found

Hope

With this idea that maybe, finally

I've found someone that I can

Match with

Freckles in our eyes are mirrored images

And if we ever kiss I know they'll align perfectly.

Every time I

See you

I shiver and can't help

But to smile

I linger longer than I should

Take

Chances

That could end in ruin for me

Just to spend a minute longer

Talking to you

Seeing you

I ache to spend ever longer with you because, while my life here is a mess, in complete and utter tatters, every minute I spend with you is so wonderful and bright that it almost makes me forget how horrible my reality is.

I don't know that I believe in

Fate

But it's hard to ignore the extraordinary

Circumstances

That were required for us to

Meet

The

Timing of it is just

A

Little

Strange

Maybe it is all connected. Maybe WE are all connected. And maybe everything I've done and suffered through the past four years were just a test, some sort of

Gauntlet

I had to run in order to make it to the

Prize.

And if you are my prize (and oh how I hope you will be)

It was worth every second.
