Every once in a while, you meet a person who is broken, damaged, struck by the misfortune of others and God, over and over. All this tears this person to shreds as she drowns in her own tears. You look at this person and say, “Man sucks to be her.”
But…sometimes, as rare as only once in a lifetime, you meet a person with all this weight, who deep down you can see is one of the purest, kindhearted, beautiful beings in existence. This person’s smile could melt the polar ice caps, eyes that have the power to burn right through to your soul and grab it in an instant. Yet all of that is buried behind all of the pain and suffering.
What has she done to me? How could she have pulled me so close without really trying? What is it? What do I do with her? Is this how the universe works? With every positive neutron, there is a negative and they pull together. Yin and Yang. For every yes, there is a no. There is pure chaos for each of us when we are apart, but brilliant calm when together.
Being the person I am, who by the way is the complete opposite, everything that is wrong with her just seems…right. It all fits together. All the past and damage and misfortune, comes together to form one of the most perfectly broken creatures to walk the earth.
I love you…
