The path once traveled with Gemini was filled with
reasons to believe and healing bruised hearts. Praising
our flaws and forgiveness being for ourselves were the
lessons. His name trembled from drunken lips of mine.
I got what I thought I wanted but it seemed as if those
alcohol-filled weekends got the best of me. I loved him
so foolishly, and the fork in the road made me determine
whether he was a stranger or my enemy.

Remnants from a bittersweet past and Sagittarius
beamed with a spirit so bright you could tell he was a
warrior of God. The month of December reminds me
of him. Back then, my once blackened soul entwined
with the magnificence of his heart. And I found him to
be my companion. During our journey, I was shown to
break boundaries and to analyze my soul as an individual.
I experienced the art of becoming, and I give thanks to him.

When winter was no longer the season, new interests
began to bloom and Capricorn came along. He was
in love with power and being in control. He has a heart
made of stone, and he tried to keep his insecurities behind
closed doors. Over a year and some change, his stories piled
up. Lying became second nature to him and the truth came
out in his writing. The rhythm of his music kept him sane
when we dealt with doubt, a love slowly dying, and shutting
each other out. He pretended that my sorrow from love at
first sight gone wrong didn't exist. When I left for Cancer,
he only fought for us because he hated being by himself.

I was swept off my feet by my once upon a time best
friend, and we knew it was happily ever after. The
excitement of us was what we lived for. Cancer let me
explore the most vulnerable layers of his soul. I was
curious to know as to why solitude was what he found
the most comfortable. Little did I know that it would
soon become so deadly. Filled with unspoken expectations,
our love began to grow accustomed to struggling.
Resulting in a shattered bond and one-way heartbreak.

Pisces dreamed of perfection, as did I. And we made
supposed figments of our imaginations reality. Being
the queen to his king, his innocence washed away with
my experience and I made him believe. A force to be
reckoned with, we began changing the minds of the
anti-lovers. They had no idea that time decided to
change things for us. We couldn't put everything in
the entire picture. The madness stemming from the
emptiness in his heart was a call of desperation for
the one I was used to replace. We believed problems
would be impossible but we spoke on that a bit too late.

Virgo came along and showed that he is the epitome of
wearing his heart on his sleeve, the definition of what
love's supposed to be. With the power of aiding to any
soul that needs mending, he proved that he is invincible.
Eternally grateful, he never loses touch with his spirit.
Connecting to reality with possibilities never ceasing.
He is forming, he is being. Out of the ordinary, he shifts
away from the idea of escaping every opportunity.
A breath of fresh air, that is he. He continues to inspire me.

And I blame it all on the stars.
They are why this came to be.
