Forever Victims of Time & Circumstance
If we could ever re-arrange the pieces on the board, maybe we could make ourselves whole, and experience the blissful life we've merely tasted.
I've lived enough years, tripping through relationships and experiencing the endless friction of the world around me to know what I'm missing, and that's what makes this so challenging. I told you once that I could live this life 1000 times, and would never expect to find someone that connects to that part of me that nobody else even seems to recognize exists.
You're smart, beautiful, passionate and an achingly attractive blend of fire and heart. I see you, inside and out, for all that you're worth, and in another life, I'd spend each day making sure the world sees what I see. The world sees the exterior, but nobody ever cared enough to see what sits just beneath. I know who you are, and in small ways, I sit in your corner still, visible or not, fighting those battles, shouting your name.
Even now, I can feel us in the extremes. Your hair clasped in my hands, pulling back your head while I graze your neck, feeling every part of you, doing that thing, to that place you know I can't resist. You give it right back, unlocking every feeling I never dreamed could be real. Im myself in ways I've otherwise written off...because of you.
And just like that, I keep you warm, hold you close, and keep you safe above all. Because our story lives in those extremes, equal parts fire and heart, spending the night talking each other to sleep, totally infatuated by the mundane, layered between animalistic heat.
As forever victims of time and circumstance...I will always remind you that you live in a world where this love exists, where you're the object of the deepest affection and your heart and mind are valued and appreciated for the elegantly complex person you are. The immediate future isn't on our side and everything else is a mystery, but the questions about love and our place in this world are brighter amidst the pain. I'd torment myself all over again for a moment holding you close, pulling you in and making sure you feel the warmth and safety of my arms around you.
When those inevitable thoughts come to the forefront, just think of draping your legs over mine, tell me what you're feeling.....and then let your imagination run wild because together or not, we found it....and its everything.
Forever yours.
