the only moment we were alone.

This, too, shall pass. I promise.

          Open your eyes and let the light pour in, let the light engulf you and wrap you in warmth. May it bring you happiness, my love. May it make up for every euphoric feeling you do not feel in your life, may it fill all the empty spaces in your heart. I wish you well. Open your eyes and let the light drape over you. Please. Let it cover your eyes, your lovely, lovely brown eyes. Yours lips, oh, what soft lips, which fit so perfectly next to mine… Your shoulders, bare and pushed back ever so slightly. Your chest, full of hope but bearing such unnecessary burdens, and encasing such a beautiful device capable of such great things. Your arms, the blood coursing through your veins patiently and emphatically. Your hands, those which have held mine so gently. May the light crawl down your skin and fill every pore with warmth. I wish you well, honest. Eventually, I know, the light will overcome all your dark and you will wander back in my direction. I know the shadows are overwhelming right now, and their luminance is growing larger by the second… but, keep your head held high, dear. keep your head held high. I’ll always be here.
