In That Moment

- originally written May 21, 2009 -

There are secrets I want to whisper to you when you look at me in that way that takes me to a place where I can feel the blood pulsing beneath my skin. Secrets I’ve never even spoken to myself rest safely in those moments that I am with you. In that moment when you stand a mere lips distance away from me. The laughter on your voice is the song to which I now sway to across the floors. And in your eyes I can see my dreams. Dreams of the tomorrows I never saw before. The pictures they paint are with colors I’ve never experienced before. You are the one who created these colors and they float me away on this ever gently rocking sea. And take me to this place I never knew before. In that moment …that moment… in which I want to forgive everyone and everything because I don’t want anyone or anything that’s ever been said or done to me to hold me back anymore. In that moment, I want to be whole so I can give my everything to you. All of it. Because you …you… are something I never even dared to dream up before. Something I never would have thought tangible. And yet, here you are. You make me want to be something so much more than I would have thought possible. You make me redeemable. You are my strength, and I will come away from everything that ever made me less than human. You are my faith, and I will walk into my every potential and achieve all my dreams. You are my courage, and I will fight every battle that comes my way. You …you… are the blessing that life has bestowed upon me. And I will never ever go a day without realizing you for all that you are to me.
