i was hurt so i would recognize what it means to be healed. i was torn apart so you could teach me what it is to be whole. i was given these trials so i could appreciate all that you are. every ounce of blood. every single tear. they were shed so once i finally found you i could come to you free of regret. free of the past. reborn in your purity. remade in the image of perfection. you are the dawn as i sit on the bench after the coldest darkest night. you are the waves calling me home. i surrender myself into your embrace. i give all of who i am, all of who i was into this love. for here, here with you, is where i was always meant to be. without you i was just me. but now.

now.

there is Us.
