I was in a dark place..until you came..

 



I had just left a place where i thought i was at peace, when  in my travels i entered a dark place. A place where there was not so much as a streak of light, every echo of laughter was a reminder of how far i had drifted from someone who i thought i'd never leave from. Somehow, you knew where i was. Maybe you heard me beat myself up over failing to meet someone's expectations, or maybe you felt the pain within me i don't know. But, you didn't just keep walking. Instead you stood by my side and listened to what was on my mind and never gave up where most would, i don't remember why i told you all these things but i remember all you said was "Hello, are you alright". Somehow i felt at peace around you and the more i felt this the more the more beams of lights shone into this once dark place, the more you tried to understand me the more voices around us had come. In time i saw people from all walks of life pass by us, i asked you why you would care for a man who's been given up for. A man broken by false hopes, you said that all i needed was to believe in myself and that i'd get through this. In time, the place flooded with voices of laughter and the brightness of the sun. i then realized that i wasn't really ever alone, i just blocked off everyone around me because i was afraid to trust again. I don't know how you always manage to pull me away from the most painful parts of my life, but i can tell you this. I can tell you that you are my hope, my strength and the reason i am where i am today and i'll always be grateful for you no matter how bad things ever get..
