I fell in love with the sound of the wind as it brushed past my ears
And I spoke to the breeze under my breath.
I let the sun illuminate the darkest shadows within me
And I felt them wither and burn into light.
I kissed the edge of the sky as it reached for my skin
And I closed my eyes so it could cover me entirely.
The emptiness that consumed me began to subside
Replaced by an overwhelming warmth.
I used to scream into my fists and pray for an escape
Until the moment your hand grazed mine.
