Dear Love

Dear Love,
This year you seemed to have blessed me. You caught me in a tangled rope of romance and new experiences, stabbing me in the heart with a Cupid's arrow, letting me fall to the ground while watching you consume me.

You introduced me to a guy, he made me laugh, helped me cry, he made me feel significant in this world, and I thank you for providing me with the links I needed to meet him. I needed to get out of my comfort zone, let you grab me by my heart, my head, my silly little mind, you needed to show me how to open up again, to which you did, though it took some time.

I was afraid of you, afraid of being stuck in a hallucination, hypnotised by the false idea of you. I was afraid of only knowing you once, perhaps missing out on another version of you, one that I was destined for. But now? I know that though you do come in many different forms, only one of those are meant for me. My true destiny.

Whispers on our tongues about promises for our future, writing our love in stone, and welcoming smaller loves, ones we both have to share our heart with. You're strange in many ways Love, you know? You're with us our whole lives, affecting our decisions and the way we want others to see us.

You make us long for you, you tease us, you make us fall, you break us, only to let us heal time and time again, giving us more excuses every time we give up hope. You keep us awake at night, showing us projections of what we want, or who we want to see you in. Most people learn hate you, but hate is broken with a glimmer of hope.

Not all people are as lucky as me, not all people are as close to you as me. You gave me a gift, one that I ignored at first, I thought you would rip it away the first chance you got, but you didn't. Everyone told me to go for it, trust you, and so here I am, thanking you.

You rip the hearts of other people out of their chests to teach them a lesson, you take people on the journeys they need to be taken on, in order to respect you when they finally get to meet the true you. You smile when they cry, you cry when they smile, you laugh when they love, love when they laugh. You want us all to be happy, for a time anyway.

One day you will shake Death's hand, giving him the contract to our love, and he will break it. Taking your soul away from us, leaving us alone in the dark world, but not only is this another lesson we need to learn, but it's a release from our hypnotised brains, it's a way of showing us we can live without that part of you, it's just not as easy as we would want it to be.

Learning to trust you has always been hard, learning to follow you through the worst has been even harder, but when we can do those things, we succeed with you. We team up with hope and we follow you to the end of the world, where finally you meet us officially. Not as our guide, but as our friend. You shake our hand and you present us with our destiny.

So for that, I thank you.

Thank you Love, for giving me who I have always asked you for, thank you for being there when I needed to find my way. Thank you for making those tears soak into my pillow, and thank you, for finally filling the hole in my small broken heart.

Thank you, My Love.
