Last night I saw her again. She talked to me and in a whisper of mundane questions, she managed to take away everything I've ever feared. Her smile set my world on fire with the power of a thousand stars and for a moment in time, I was genuinely happy. Not happy - what - if, but happy - happy. And it felt amazing to be able to ignore all the petty problems. With every twirl of her hand, she cast away my worries, replacing them with bittersweet bliss. For a little while, she was mine...
I'll take the sweet pain of knowing she won't ever be truly mine, just for evenings like the last one. In a room full of people, no one else matters to me. I hate how much I've empowered this beautiful soul with every weapon she needs to bring me down on my knees. But I now know there is no other way. She really had me at "hello".
