it goes without saying

You are mine.

I have grown to appreciate your presence in my life. 

Your love has healed pieces I never knew were broken. 

The security of your support has filled a long excavated void.

You inspire me to be the best version of myself. For you.

Your investment in my life has given me relevance. 

It has freed my existence from obscurity. 

My lack of impression has taken it’s toll. What began as an insecurity grew into self loathing. 

The comfort of your embrace pulled me from the embers of my own fires. 

 

But take care in knowing your place.

Don’t ever manipulate your impact with misguided intentions. 

The tragedy of this story is that it is not exempt from suffering. 

Causality would be addressed. 

My love for you will never dwindle. It will never fade. 

But it can be withdrawn. 

The ache left behind in my absence will swell into a paralyzing agony. 

Stand at my side and I will give you the world. 

Stand against me and I will ransom it back.

You hold my heart in your hands. 

Keep it close.
