Jaded Reality

Part of Me!

I met you when the time was right, when the need to socialize was minimal and alright.

I met you when the realisation of the fact that the world was about to suck me in a loophole of mistakes and turns, when the need to be mentally alright was not right.

I met you when my scars were sealed shut and the only thing on my mind was work, work, work.

I met you when I didn't have a plan, when the footing below my feet was a stronghold of fake beliefs and half truths.

I met you when the only picture perfect moments were us supporting each other, when the silver linings were our small victories.

But time changed and every meeting and every day turned into a series of shelved emotions.

And

I fell in love with you.

I fell in love with the person who stayed true to his nature, who kept his family first, who showered his friends with love and affection and who treated every human like a family of his own.

I fell in love, when you poured your heart out without the fear of what might come next.

I fell in love, when you showed me all the paths no one had ever meant to walk on.

I fell in love, when you trusted me with all your treasured keepsakes.

I fell in love, when you didn't question my past but found truth in the midst of all the chaos.

I fell in love, when your eyes spoke magnitudes of honesty and willingness to hold on to whatever we were or what we are.

I fell in love, when you wrapped your broken shield with a silent promise that things would be fine.

I fell in love, when you chose me over the idea of what we couldn't/shouldn't be.

I fell in love with you because not loving you was like steering a ship in an open ocean, without any anchor to support, without any destiny or promise of things going as planned.

You showed me peace when all I could picture was a darkened corner of happiness. You captured all my fears and made me feel like I was home. You gave me a forever in a world full of what if's. You gave me hope when all my life I have only second guessed my path.

You are a part of me that I can't let go but fear to lose the most.

You make me happy and no matter what or where we may lead up to, you will forever be the person I love the most.
