enwrapped in the arms of comfort

"LOVE is patient.
LOVE is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast.
It is not proud.
It is not rude.
It is not self- seeking.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrong."

Sometimes we are placed with things that we think we cannot handle,
yet even the strongest and most powerful burdens on one's soul can be handled
by a human....
and..
Sometimes we are surprised by things that we did not expect.
Although at times it seems as though we cant handle life and its twists
and turns.... an opportunity and hope seems to fall from the sky...
at the times when you dont know but need the help the most...

the world always seemed to be veiled by a dark cloak,
impenetrable by light, and asphyxiating even with the deepest of breaths.
you think that no one will realize the true darkness that exists
within that tough, or happy-go-lucky exterior.
You put up these walls of strength or smile at everything,
to not show the true pain that haunts every turn and every breath.
the darkness seems to weigh you down.
it seems to control you.
it seems to want to take over.
until that one day... when you realize to plainly lift the veil and look
at the world without that gray and hazy medium...

but the courage, wisdom, and a helping hand comes from another...
one who saw everything you didnt see...
one who sees all the wonders your soul has...
takes your hand..and lifts the veil..
that magnificent light, the overwhelming senses of truth..
might seem to be too good to be true and hard to take in...
but that helping hand is always there... to say...
that its fine and that its all deserved...

ever find a phone call, a text message or even a post it mean the world?
youd think that trivial and technological nonsense wouldnt mean so much,
but the words, the meanings..and the person it comes from...
means the world...

waking up next to the person you truly and deeply care about is a statement
that most married couples or couples who are truly inlove usually say..
and there are only a handful of lucky people who have found this statement true.
even though at times they might curse you out while your waking them up,
or they look into your eyes and smile...
and even sometimes..kiss you on the neck to wake you....
but feelings like these are unconditional...
and i cant try and create a situation to properly suit these feelings..
its one of those... things you just feel in your gut and have no proper way of elaborating.


your smile is infectious.
your embrace is comforting.
your grasp is melodic.
and your eyes are soothing.
even when walking through the streets of nyc..
hundreds of people might be around us..
but all i see is you.

at times i stare into your eyes and wonder
about hope. possibilities. and luck.
and its your hold on me...that makes me realize
its ALL REAL.

to my one and only.
