my Dearest heart,
It's been a while since I've not been able to
understand how you're feeling, how to understand you.
It's been a while since you've had to erect defenses
all over again and lose me in the transition.
It's not for me to push. There is no pushing
necessary. In the meanwhile, you're out there,
troubled by something that requires a little
bit of understanding for me to come in terms with.
In the meanwhile I'll stay where I am so as not
to suffocate you.
I'll never try to be a mind reader. But I shouldn't
have to feel guilty about caring about you.
Toughness is as toughness does. Before I commit
another mistake I'll stay put and hold out my hand to you.
Please feel free whenever to come and grab me.
We aren't only together when things are beautiful and happy.
We are together in everything, much as in the
lighter things as in the dark, when sadness and troubles appear.
You have my word, I shan't leave you.
Why did I write all those things today? Those
pieces that chose today as their debut on the wire? Six months I've known
you, my dearest heart -
and in those six months I've less and less reason
to hold on to the dark things that bespoil my life. And these taint my
smile. They have and they
will. Unless I hang them out in the sun to dry.
Call it emotional laundry. Call it dire things, these ghosts from the past.
Zero Sum is my forum. It is my open book. I invite you to read what is
there and know me more - what I have gone through. What has made me stronger
today. Stronger now that I am with you. I offer you this strength. There
is nothing, no matter or issue that can stand our concerted effort.
Our love at the end of the day is all that matters.
Nothing stands in our way. No fear, not turmoil, nor bad dreams. Nothing.
Except you and I.
I love you, dearest. Remember that I am Always
With You.
