shadows of you [#1]

love

there's something beautiful about loving someone, even if you aren't loved back in the same way, because it's just the fact that there's something about them that makes you feel alive.

it's almost as if you've waited all this time to finally get to this point, and you can finally live because of it.

you may experience so much heartbreak, but it forces you to face the world with tears in your eyes and despair clinging to the back of your mind.

and the experience makes you grow, finally allowing you to live in a way you've never lived before because you've felt what you always wanted to know, and although you didn't quite want to feel it in this way, you have.

you're alive in so many ways. it's a liberating feeling really, and, after so many months, things finally feel alright. i am finally free, at least for this period of time however long it may be.
