I remember the exact second I fell in love with you.
Totally.
Completely.
Unconditionally.
My entire being, my heart, rejoiced.
Time stood still.
In a second, I looked into your dark, alien-like eyes.
It's like I could see your soul.
In that second, I fell in love with you hard.
Welcome to the world my sweet, sweet boy!

"Be true to yourself" they said to me.
Over and over again.
But when I finally spoke my truth,
They did not want to hear me.

It's easier said than done.
That thing we call 'love'.
It's even harder to describe.
Words just don't give justice to its pure intensity.
It is so fragile yet it is one of the most powerful thing.
It's easy to speak of 'love'.
It is much, much hard to do 'love'.

I am dead to her.
It breaks my heart.
No returned calls.
No response to messages.
Nothing.
Ghosting is what they call this.
I am dead to her.
Yet, I am the one grieving.

I'm only One.
One of many.
Many of a kind.
Human kind.
I'm One of a kind.
