I love you. For everything, that you are, that you were, and the amazing person you are going to become. We seem so perfect for each other but so distant. Two missing puzzle pieces that fit immaculately together, lost. We tried so hard to stay connected, but our edges became worn and images faded. So you stripped me of everything I was. You took all my colors, all my strength, all of my will, and left me as just cardboard. Soggy, from the tears, of a shredded heart, streaming from within. But over time, my skin dried and was stained and crinkled. Showing a new picture. A new me. Stronger. Happier. And even more beautiful than before. I love you. For everything, that you are, that you were, and the amazing person you are going to become. It's just that you don't love me...

Stripped Beautifully
I love you. For everything, that you are, that you were, and the amazing person you are going to become. We seem so perfect for each other but so distant.
