Love

You are my one beacon of hope. My guiding light that allows me to clearly envision my future happiness. If you are not the "one", then I do not know who will ever be. My ultimate fear, the impending sorrow that burrows deep within my soul--is that you do not see it as I do. That my love for you will go unnoticed--unreciprocated to the point where it becomes a gesture of courtesy. And that in itself, is my ultimate fear--unrequited love in the face of devoted compassion. All your faults do not matter. All that matters is that I know your heart--inside and out. All that matters is that i remember the scent of your skin. What is the most frightening thing about love is that you are able to hold someone so close, feel so safe, yet at the same time feel as if you are losing them. That is the thing that scares me the most about love. The fact that as quickly as it can fill your heart, the quicker it can leave. But you can never forget that those memories are the ones that are ingrained in your soul until the day you die. That is what love is...the chance that you can bond with another human being so much so that they remain in your lasting memory. That in itself is simply what matters--the ability to touch another human being so much so that they feel as if they can't live without you, that living in itself is not worth the fight if you're not entrenched in their heart
