“I’ve never seen you smile like this before”
Happy, happy, happy. Especially when I’m with you. You’re my escape, my daily bliss, the fairytale I get to live in whenever I see you.
It’s weird how 6 months ago I never thought I could be this happy. Even 3 months ago I thought I was done for. Over with life, couldn’t handle it. Couldn’t handle myself.
School starting just made everything worse; endless amounts of stress pooled into my household and eventually made me go insane. I was on a slow but sure downward spiral, constantly doing self-destructive things..
I sought solace in isolation. I detached myself from even my closest friends, and got out of this little city over the summer in efforts to reconstruct myself and hopefully find whatever it was I lost.
Things got better when we started talking again. Our daily interactions represented a little glimmer amongst all the darkness I felt. Your fervent blue eyes.. looking at me in that way you do, your pure intentions, your protective nature- all things I appreciate and will never take for granted. You bring me comfort and safety in ways I can’t adequately explain.
