I looked for temporary satisfation when your love was absent. I understand it may be selfish of me but waiting for its return is like waiting for the last autumn leaf to make way to the earth -- the beauty of summer fades, and Mother Nature loses her youth as the arms that reach the heavens slowly die. Truthfully, one could not forget intimate kisses shared in silence, and the voice that has resonated in the mind as the sweetest lullaby. If only it was possible to find joy within the pain. Although laughing at such misery could ease a weary heart, the perfect love still has too strong of a hold to let go of the affection it has received.

Day 7: Void
I pray that your soul finds the comfort it deserves, and that your inner strength makes way to the surface. The shackles from the pain you've experienced want to restrain your growth, and you cannot let them get away with such a thing. Within you lies the fight of a God-fearing warrior. With such power, you were born to be a force to be reckoned with. May you never be disheartened for better days are approaching. The moment you break free from the chains of negativity, your spirit will return to its peaceful ways.

Day 6: Peace
I gave my all to a person even with an exhausted soul. Time after time, I made myself an afterthought for the sake of his heart. Unfortunate events proved that he did not have the heart to do the same.  I freely gave myself to a man that confused true love with lust. My selflessness entwined with his selfishness, and my love slowly became suppressed from being mistreated. With this, I know the importance of giving less love to a loveless being. They are not aware of what they have when their pride is what they live for.

Day 5: Loveless
"I'll be back," he said to me. Foolishly, I believed every falsehood that came from the lips I once kissed. Little did he know that those words were powerful beyond belief. Behind closed doors, his selfishness had a hold on my soul and took the life it withheld with ease. Not once did I complain because with the beauty of love followed pain. I never understood why I settled with a lie. More than twice, my intuition told me that he didn't deserve an ounce of me. That he never deserved a heart that gives selflessly. That his negativity would get the best of me. But this experience reminded me that every person has their season and it ends for a reason. So I have embraced my mistakes, and I will love myself selfishly.

Day 4: Selfishly
The truth is that I love you, and that I always will. Helpless and hopeless romantics dream of love like this. For the longest of times, I dreamt of the perfect lover. I wondered how much sweeter life would be if I found myself in the arms of the man I love. The longer I waited and every mishap along the way led me straight to you. I, now, yearn for the passionate kisses you place upon my lips. I live for your steady breaths that give my restless soul peace. Hearts like yours are the reasons why I remained a believer.  Your warmth never goes astray, and your faith gives me strength. Although each heart withholds the same amount of adoration, theirs will never be like yours.

Day 3: Appreciation
If there are days that you feel that the power of my love may be too much to handle, I apologize for the discomfort it is bringing. For the heart my higher being so graciously gave to me was meant to be experienced by you. I was born to express my passion in the most intimate of ways, and my presence is meant to be felt whether or not we are in the same space. So it is expected that you embrace my form of being. If your spirit is not rattled by the depletion of my energy, and if your mind is not frazzled by the idea of this love no longer existing, you do not deserve to experience the positive vibrations I am giving.

Day 2: Deserving
Awakened to ******** A man's misconstrued idea of what a woman needs to do. His misery, he slowly found comfort. He tried to **** me into an everlasting hole of darkness for as long as I can remember. And I refused to cave. Never would I diminish the joy in my soul for a man like you. There is no comfort in mediocrity, better known as you. For the last time, I solemnly swear that I will never give my energy to a man's wants and needs. I come first. And I always will.
