Nothing in this life is ever certain. But I am certain, about us. And this might sound melodramatic, but I don't want a life without you in it. I cannot even picture it, let alone stomach it. And the possibility that this, too, could be a passing lesson is a thought I only entertain in the seconds I am consumed by the what ifs that had once crushed me. There is a hopeful spark in my spirit that we are a forever thing. But beneath that, within my heart's eclipse, there is a knowing that this is what I want. You are the one I need. Your arms are the only ones I want to be wrapped in. New smile lines have formed, and I don't conceal them anymore. My eyes sparkle differently. I am safe in your energy. You make me want to be better. You make me view everything with a whole new perspective and appreciation for fate. My soul now calls yours home. And I believe it always has. We were just searching for the moment our worlds merged.
