When I met you, there was a storm
Inside me, was turmoil
Distructive, I was... to myself
Then you came into my life
A dim light in your eyes
Someone hurt you
Like someone hurt me
I wanted to comfort you
Then suddenly it became more
It was one night then two.
Endless amounts of days passed and you were in my thoughts
It worried me
My friends were leaving
Then there was you
Who do I chose?
I stayed
For you
To this day I dont regret
Im so glad that I met you
Without you, I wouldn't have been able to survive.
I was swimming against the current. The waves were crashing down on me.
I was sinking
My arms flailed, I continued to try
Then I realized how much I wanted you
Why am I hurting myself?
You threw out a rope and I clutched it
For a time, I didnt pull myself out of the sea
I was so used to destroying myself
That leaving that suffering seemed uneasy
What if it followed? I thought
What if this person isn't saving me but putting me into a different version of harm's way
I took the risk.
You pulled me in.
There was weary in your eyes
But you were friendly
Now I can breath
Two years later
Almost three since we have been together
But we met in August of 2015
Officially, we have known each other for three years
I wouldnt have it any other way
And im sorry that I'm here away from you
But this is a task that I have to complete
I will always love you
No matter the result of this
I hope we can make it
If not, I know that our love was worth the time we spent together
And I also know that I will never stop loving you
Just as I never stopped loving the storm
In my heart you will always been my sun
And to me, I will always your moon.
He may be my foundation. I may his beginning
But there was much distruction that came between us
And I'm glad that you never treated me that way
Your love was pure
Your love was kind
And I hope you could feel the love that I tried to show you
I love you.
And I hope never forget that

May we last and if not, may your light never dim. For the love we have will never cease in me. My path may differ but my love for you shall remain the same.
