One day

Reminder

"When someone is going through a storm, your silent presence is more powerful than a million, empty words."
-Thema Davis

Sometimes words fail to convey the capacity you wish you had to eliminate the pain weighing down someone else. There is nothing in this world that can measure up to the comfort in just being in the company of someone else; the heat of another human body letting you know that you are not alone in this. It's an important thing to remember, that even when you can't say anything at all, you should always be there.

I am not scared of your dark

It's always self-inflicted, the pain that you cause yourself when all of your demons and cobwebs get a little too close to the surface. When you think that maybe it would be easier if you just ruined everything so that you wouldn't have to live up to the expectations that are cast upon you each day by the people who might not know what cracks too look underneath.
So come at me with you broken words and throw down all the statements that you wish you could scream at people each day when this weight is a little too heavy. Tell me the secrets that you are too ashamed to give a voice too and paint me a canvas of all the ugly that you are too scared to show to the daylight.
I will take it all. I will always take all of it, because each of these pieces makes up a part of your whole.
I am not scared of your dark.

Do you remember like I do; does it even matter?

The feeling of you will never cease to amaze me. Despite all the bad things that found their way between us and finally managed to divide us, all I have to do is drive past Memorial Park and I remember the smile you wore when you waited for me five years ago. I remember the anger you wore when all of this fell apart and I remember all the tears that stained your face when we whispered all of those things into the darkness that we could never quite manage to say without the blanket of night covering us, as if it mightn't hurt quite so much if the sun couldn't sober us.  
I was with someone for two years after you, and I didn't even begin to feel an ounce of what I felt for you. And the single thing that scares me most in this world is that I may never feel the way I felt about you ever again.
