so old, so young, so tired, so worn.
i met you.
like a flame, a candle, you lit my heart.
i yearned for it, begged for the mercy of your touch.
you soothed me, threw glimpses of unfamiliar life into my eyes.
and in the very moments i felt utterly and completely overtaken, overcome, by this fire,
emptiness and destruction threatened, much more, to take their places.
as i stared them in the eyes, i realized never in my life and never again had i seen such pure,
raw,
untamed
love.
in the face of such utter tragedy.
because as much as i love you and always have
a choice was made to never let it shake me the way it did, again.
