I write for the words my voice left unspoken. I write for the feelings my heart didn't show. I write for the tears my eyes never shed. I write for the things that never come to light. I write for the version of me that I put aside.
I am afraid. Afraid that the lightning will strike me; that I couldn't bear to listen to its thunder. Afraid that no matter how hard I try to protect myself, I'll still end up hurting.
From the moment we met, I knew you were special. You became my life-changer, someone essential, substantial. You made every quote I created remarkable, Every poem I've written, memorable.
