Shadows into Light

Words of Affirmation.

I didn't love you out of loneliness,

I was fine in the dark .

I loved you because your light made me want to step out of the shadows.

I didn't love you out of lust

my heart doesn't linger around for a dim void

I love you because your laughter reminded me of the things I loved most.

I didn't love you out of confusion

My weather has gone clear and windy.

I love you because my heart, soul and mind reunited when they had decided to look your way.

I didn't love you out of boredom and spite

that forest fire was put out ages ago.

I am continuously trying to love you because i now have a new life source

I love you because you remind me of wild flowers, beautiful, scentful yet still filled with thorns.

trying to find the last bits of water remaining because lately, I've been given nothing but a drought.

I think im drying out

but the times when i find those bits of water constricted within this drought.

it brings a certain life to me

one that quenches my thirst until it happens again in a cycle.

I didn't love you for my convenience.

My patience would never withstand or linger far too long.

i love you because even while you've vacated this place.

I fell in love with you as a choice.

you were never an option.

I still silently wait.

while the wind brushes against the leaves.

while the sun deliberately goes down.

I am still the one left waiting for you.

My Moon.
