A Letter For The Love of My Life ❤️

Thank you for waking me from a dream , a nightmare rather . .

Things were never what they seemed

Thanks for exposing me to real

For helping me regain my ability to feel

You are the wake up call that I’d been listening for .

Funny cause I always thought I was the sensitive one , but I see that there were parts of me that still were numb . Unforgivable pieces that hadn’t seen what peace is.

Demons that weren’t given a chance for redemption

Demons that didn’t get an honorable mention . When they too had a say in what I have become of today.

I can feel again

I can breathe

I can stop pretending that peace is something that’s make believe

I stopped searching for balance

I stopped searching for the key

You showed me that all along , it’s been hiding within me

Within my walls

Within my flaws

You found light , you found

A little girl who had went into hiding to protect herself from the darkness

The irony was that she didn’t need to be protected

She was made up of all things hectic & neglected

She was the light . She was the dark . And all things in between . She hides no more .

From the ashes she rises, from the pain she came .

I am learning to not only continue to be a light to others , but spare enough for myself as well .

To be well aware of the gifts that I possess . & only hold myself accountable for what I am & not what I could be .

I want to be fully present . The future is so damn unpredictable & the past sure as hell cant save me .

Love does not live in the past . Love does not rest in the future .

Love is a gift , the present & a presence like no other .

I am what I am & I know what I know .

& in this very moment there’s only one thing I am sure of . .

I have this moment & this moment only . & if I could choose one way to spend it & one way only . It would be hand & hand with you .

One step at a time . I am here . I am yours . Now more than ever . I love you . . Unconditionally . Thank you for returning the favor ❤️🙏🏽

- Yours Truly 🤞🏽
