For the one I got to keep.


You found me when I was aimless and you took me in. This time, it wasn't love at first sight. Now that I think of it, it was more of hate at first sight.

Yes, I hated you with your order and formality, hated that everyone thought we were somehow related even though I barely knew you, hated that I had to start working for you. My heart was still frozen and it had not yet begun to thaw and it wouldn't for a while.

Then I saw you in a situation similar to mine. You cared for someone who could not care for you in return. I couldn't sympathise. Why should I when I thought I was the one to be pitied?

You tried to show concern for me and all I did was brush you aside and ignore everything you tried to do. I can't say how sorry I am that I was so childish and spiteful.

I never dreamed that my world would hold colours again, but they came back as I began to lean on you. Somehow, you cured me of my habit of hiding behind an iron wall, showing no emotion.

The warmth in your eyes when you took care of me when I was sick reminded me of the warmth I craved. I never intended to fall for anyone ever again, but I fell for you.

I was there when your relationship didn't work out and I hope I gave you the support you gave me. You'd broken down my walls and seen how fragile I actually was. Now, it was my turn to break down yours.

No matter how much you tell me that I'm not too clingy, I think I cling to you more than you imagine. I don't want a repeat of the past, so I hold on to you as tightly as I can. You already know about my possessive streak and I really have no idea how you even manage to tolerate the interrogations whenever you do anything out of the ordinary.

You smell like soothing vanilla, and it comforts me when you hold me. Before, I was incomplete. Now, you complete me. I might be a bit presumptuous, but I think I complete you too.

I want to hold you close for the rest of forever, so never let me go, because I'm sure I'll never let go of you. This solace I have now is something I'll never have without you. You made me see again and I have you to thank for this new life I'm living now.

There is nothing more complete. I belong to you, and you belong to me.
