Kill the part of you that believes it can't survive without someone else.

I am starting to accept
that you never loved me.
And it's sad
because I don't think you see
how beautiful you are to me.
Your face was the light
that chased away the shadows,
every nightmare, every fear.
But you burned out and now
I'm learning to be afraid
of the dark once again.

Love starts as a feeling,
But to continue is a choice;
And I find myself choosing you
More and more every day.

Love will find you when you least expect it to; it will find it in an unusual moment on a strange day!

Sometimes it feels like even if
Every inch of my skin was touching yours
I still wouldn’t be close enough to you.

You brought me to places
I’d have never thought to go
To a trail near the river
Where the water runs slow;
To a mountain where all we heard
Was our voices’ echo;
You showed me inward beauty
That doesn’t show in photos.
