Life is a culmination of good things and bad things, but sometimes it’s hard to tell the good from the bad. The darkness and the light. You were the light of my life, and I used to think that was a good thing. But I think we overlook the fact that life isn’t that simple. Things aren’t just good or bad, and things don’t always fit into the categories of light and dark. You have to see the world in a different way every day. You were the light of my life, but not all light is a good thing. And not all darkness is a bad thing. Light is like dancing with fire. If you get too close you burn yourself, but if you’re too far away you could freeze. And I think I got burnt. But the darkness. It’s intoxicating and beautiful. It’s intriguing and terrifying, but I think that’s something we all need in our lives. We can’t always keep things safe. And if you were the light of my life, I think darkness is exactly what I need. I got too close to the fire. I made the mistake and trusted the flame—something that is too erratic and unpredictable to be trusted.
