I only absolve this world of its crimes because it also gave me you.
Someone who tends to my garden of putrid burning stars,
until they collapse into a nebula of unconditional benevolence.
Someone whose presence feels like the intimacy of an early morning sunrise.
Β Β Like a breath being held.
A moment that is so precious and tender, it is to be treasured forever.
You have made me alive in a way that I did not think possible.
Before you, I only had my pessimism to lay with.
A desire to go on a crusade of retribution.
I wanted to bring devastation to this reality.
But you make me see the radiance and loveliness.
A blossoming and beautiful future filled with gentle hands and words.
I know it is there because the world gave me you.
This is for sure a change in my usual writing. It is far more optimistic and filled with love rather than tragedy. My boyfriend is someone that means a great deal to me and this is about him. Someone who has helped me to overcome so much trauma in my life. I want to tell whomever is reading this, that no matter the reason, whether it be because you find a partner or not, I promise that it does get better. We all possess beauty worth seeing. The world has beauty worth seeing. No matter who you are, you will always deserve to see both of those things.
