I think that maybe I loved you, in the darkness, and in the lowlights.
And I think that maybe I held you in my heart or in my hands.
I think that maybe I misunderstood all the little things, or maybe the big things, the things of which the size, I couldn’t comprehend.
I misunderstood everything. Every moment that was spent thinking that I understood the world, thinking that I understood us. Who we were, and where we were going.
Everything was supposed to be black and white. I expected it to be black and white. I tried to avoid all the grey areas where the lines were undefined, sought to avoid the questions and confusions.
But I couldn’t.
Slowly, the universe seeped through the eyelids I had attempted to keep forced shut. Strands of color. Threads which shot across the darkness, of my lonely ceiling, weaving galaxies, and forming Gods.
I watched all the stories being written in the form of harlequin dreams. Surrendered to the kaleidoscopic visions, of everything I’d originally witnessed in passionless monotint.
Everything became chaotic, complex, as I laid there in what was now nothing more than the remnants of a former perspective.
I think that maybe that was the moment it all made sense. All the things that didn’t make sense, all the things that were never meant to make sense.
I became suddenly comfortable with this *******-like perception, where everything was smeared and splattered together as an illustration of pure and continuous creation, providing a canvas for both reason and insanity.
I think that maybe it was then that I loved you for everything that you weren’t, and everything that you would never be.
I loved you for all the expectations that weren’t there. For all the things you didn’t ask about, and all the secrets I didn’t feel the need to tell you.
It was all clear, when the lines blurred and the colors mixed.
I think that maybe I loved you simply because I loved you
