I feel like its been so long.So long since I've seen your face, heard you laugh, held your hand.The seconds tick by, agonizingly slow, but the time seems to breeze by so quickly that I don't know where its gone.
I knew you were safe, I knew where you were, I could have guessed what you were doing, but the distance between us made the knowledge so unstable.
I fought for you, day in, and day out, I would fight with the hope that at the end of my struggles, I could see your beautiful face again. As more and more days went by, my hope became frail, and more desperate. My companions would notice that look in my eye.
Every time we encountered love, they could see the pain in my eyes, and the pleading hope in my heart. I felt as though I were made of glass, and at those particular moments, I could have shattered.
I knew that you were safe, for a while. When I heard that you were gone, taken from where you were supposed to be, where you were safe, I almost lost all hope. The breath was gone from my lungs and my knees, despite their strength, almost buckled. But I can tell you something, my resolve was stronger than ever.
Every time I came across an enemy, I would flail at them, wildly, without any thought or discretion. If they got in my way, they were cut down.
I was merciless, angry, and my heart was darker than I ever thought it would be. I was the hero, the only light, but you were my anchor, and with you gone, my light drifted away.
I slowly came to a realization that I was getting closer, closer to the end of my journey, and closer to you. Closer to where they said you would be.
It felt like Friday after a long week of school. All I could think was almost there, almost there. I went forward with an energy I thought I had lost, and slowly I became the hero that I once was.
As soon as the desperation went away, time seemed to slow again. I was living in slow motion, and every second brought me closer to you. I defeated everyone that came at me, and then I heard your voice.
You called out to me, and my heart went out to you, or rather came back to me, because you know that I left it with you.
I feel like its been so long, since I looked up and saw your face, staring down at me. Though it was only minutes ago, the seconds tick by and I feel like I will never actually reach you.
I see you, and my world shifts, suddenly the only thing holding me to this world is you. Everything I see is you, and its all I ever want to see.
Your arms are around me, and I hug you back, like I never want to let go. I know that we must leave each other soon, I am not done fighting yet. The seconds still tick by slowly and thats okay.
Because right now, time could not go slowly enough.
