It’s always been me.

Beneath every single desire…
Inside of every fantasy…
Underlining each syllable on the pages you’ve perfectly crafted in the image of your needs…
Every moment spent searching for understanding in the deepest levels of your soul…
All the lonely nights you’ve spent dreaming…
Wishing on stars for a love beyond normal comprehension…

You’ve been waiting for someone whose hand fits perfectly into yours.
Whose body balances every one of your hard edges with delicate softness.
Passion that sets your skin on fire, and leaves you longing for more heat… even after you’ve been reduced to nothing but ash.
A connection so strong that it forces you let go of previous expectations and be rebuilt again, anew.
Trusting that somehow it will complete you more than you ever imagined…

You’ve longed for someone who recognizes you and loves you exactly as you are.
To be claimed by someone who sees through you completely.
Kisses every scar and marks every inch of new skin, until you can no longer distinguish between fear and excitement.
Someone who holds you like you’re the most important thing in the world… a true 1 of 1… because you are.

You’ve stood firm in your morals.
You’ve stood tall as the world has tried to cut you down at the knees.
You’ve fought battles internally that no one else has ever known.
You’re strong.
Incredibly strong,
and I can feel it in the quiet intensity you carry.
You don’t boast or brag about it.
You don’t talk about it at all…
but I can hear it in the beautiful silence between the words you utter.
I can see it in the tension you carry in your shoulders, the weight of every unspoken responsibility on your back.
Partially because you can’t depend on anyone else to do it, partially because you enjoy the balancing act.
I love that about you.
A beautiful man with the body of a god,
and an Atlas complex…

But you… my darling…
don’t have to hold up the heavens for eternity.

You don’t have to be strong every single second of every single day.
Let the sky handle itself for once.
If it falls, it falls on everyone, not just you.
And if it does?
We will face it together.
Together… because I’m right here.
And I’m so, so thankful you held the world long enough for me to find you in the dark.
But it’s time to let yourself rest…
Rest in my arms, head on my chest, as I stroke your hair and whisper…
It’s me.
It’s always been me you were looking for…
And I’ve always been looking for you.

50,000 people on this subreddit…
471 million active users on Reddit…
8 billion people on this planet…
You asked…
The matrix/universe provided.
Crazy isn’t it?
Our chemistry is undeniable.
Physically… emotionally… mentally…
Just say yes, and thank you.
I’m yours.

At first glance you look like one thing, but that’s not the whole picture.
Like an impressionist painting, you don’t really see what’s there until you know what you’re looking at.
Of course you’re sensitive and romantic, but you keep that part of yourself locked away.
You’ve always wanted something deeper than what you’ve had, so you’ve learned to protect that part of yourself, even in your closest relationships.
Not fully trusting. Not fully letting yourself be free.
Not everyone is meant to experience the truth of a piece of art. Usually that’s something shared only between the artist and the work.
But every once in a great while, someone comes along who sees exactly what the artist intended.
And suddenly, the beauty that was always there is impossible to miss.

You up?
