❛ LOVE IS A COMPLICATION IN ACTION : IT is never interpreted in the same way , but it looks the same in every language . it can be pronounced amore . it can be pronounced agape . it can be pronounced kjaetlighet . it can be pronounced люблю --
❛ BUT A KISS IS A KISS . A HUG IS A HUG . a melody is a melody . a dance is a dance . the human heart is soft -- it is predestined to love . it learns fast the ways when taught ; it is never too young or too old .
❛ AND IT IS ENTRUSTED TO US . HUMANS . of the secret whispers of speaking across nations ; understanding the display when we can not hear the words . a speaking in tongues . our own universal dialect .
❛ AND WE ARE GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY of sharing this gift . passing it from one to another back and forth . for what ? to fill the void and light the darkness . fend off the doubt . the fear . the sadness .
❛ AND LOVE IS AN ART FORM TO BE SHAPED and molded and created with utmost attention to detail and performed for those we care for most , and those we have not yet had the pleasure of meeting .
SOMETHING TO BE MEASURED .
❛ AND THEY TOLD ME TO WEIGH YOURSELF and measure up . if you desire to be loved , which every soul does , love well , they say .
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BOY WHO IS LIKE a prayer on my lips with no god to go to .
❛ AND HIS EYES WOULD ALWAYS MEET MY OWN and i forget everything . the stress . the pain . the anger . the anxiety . and all i would know is that the world begins and ends with us , and us only . his eyes -- looking right into mine with a fearlessness that fascinates me . he fascinates me .
❛ AND HIS LAUGHTER IS THE ONLY SOUND IN MY world and it's the perfect song and i want to hear it again and again .
AND THEN HE SPEAKS : AND I KNOW I MUST have been laughing and smiling like a total fool -- but i can't help it .
AND HIS HAND WILL ALWAYS FILL RIGHT IN MY own and i would close my eyes and enjoy the moment and smiling and i'd never feel quite so peaceful .
❛ AND HIS LIPS ARE ON MY OWN AND I WOULD have no idea how much time had passed . and i have never been so at ease . it's so peaceful . it's so perfect , and i would never want to move , never want to forget , never want it to end . it's perfect . everything's just so perfect , you know ?
❛ BUT I’M NOT , AND HENCE I WANT TO GIVE him a window into everything about me . it will take him a while -- there's a lot / but i know he wouldn't expect anything less . i want to show him me , that this is me , laid bare and shaped between words and stories and dreams and fantasies and everything in between . i want him to start reading the first poem and slowly fall into my past . i want him to read them all , more than once and have so many questions forming in his mind . what mattered most ? what caused this ? and this ?
❛ AND OF ALL : I WISH HE WOULD ACCEPT ME for who i am . i am a human being , as i am full of flaws . as i know he deserves more than this , more than me -- i'm sorry . i really am , for being this selfish . but i love him : i love you , viktor . i love you . i love you . i love you .
AND I WOULD SAY THAT YOU ARE MY UNIVERSE , my galaxies or the stars in my night sky . but they're nothing but common analogies used by people limited by their imagination or lack thereof .
❛ YOU ARE NOT SPACE , MY LOVE , YOU ARE NOT an empty space or void with sparse glimpses of light . you are not a vast black mass with spots of white , my love -- you are indeed a spectrum of colors . my spectrum of colours .
YOU ARE A COMPRESSED AMALGAMATION OF beauty and flaws contained in a singular entity . you are not the unfathomable , and you are not the ethereal , my love .
❛ YOU CAN BE REACHED , AND YOU CAN BE sensed in your entirety . you aren't the vacuum , mon ange . you are you .
AND I WANT TO REACH YOU .
SO PLEASE , GIVE ME A PLACE IN YOUR HEART , for that is the only place i could call home . i love you . ❜
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
