You by Rachlan

I had always known of You, practically since the time I came out of the womb. I went to Your house once a week, learning all there was to know about You. They always talked of You in school and I wanted to know more about you. One might think that I had had enough of You by then, but what I learned only managed to pique my interest. I wondered about you, wondered why you did what you did. I asked You if I could become Yours more times than I can count. I would feel secure in the knowledge that I belonged to You, only to be assaulted by doubts weeks later. I can't tell You what an awful time of my life that was. Always wondering, questioning, if I was Yours or not.

Somewhere I heard that my relationship with You isn't based on my feelings; whether or not I feel like I belong to You is irrelevant. One last time- don't ask me when for I do not know for sure- I asked to become Yours and this time, I meant it. Truly. In my heart, I knew it took; I knew for sure that I now belonged to You, forever and always. Did my troubles end there, some might wonder. No, of course not. Doubts continued to plague me, but I had your letters to assure me that what had happened to me wasn't just a fluke. At one period in my life, we became separated, you and I. We drifted apart, or maybe I should say that I drifted away from You. This period of separation lasted a long time, much longer than it should have. But I was stubborn and did not want to come back to You. I think I forgot why I turned to You in the first place, what had drawn me to You.

One day when I was contemplating our relationship, I came to realize that though I had wandered away from You, You never left me. You were there the whole time, waiting for me to wake up and understand that You loved me despite my wanderings. I finally understood that no matter what I did, You would always love me and always be there for me. Even if I travelled a thousand different paths and tried a thousand different ways, You would always be waiting with arms open when I came home. I'd never really understood that before. But I get it now. I understand. The only thing I will ever want or need in my life is You. Just You. Only You. Forever.

The End.
