I met a girl once

Who sighed and told me

She was not lovely

And it confused me

She could not see

The sunlight shining through her scars.

This girl who shines the brightest even on the cloudiest days is you. And when you tell me that you are any less I refuse to believe it. Because people are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. You try to escape in the dark but nothing can hide your beauty; inside and out.

Once you even tried to tell me, "I'm not beautiful." To even think that is quite frankly absurd. You blame your scars and tell me that your not perfect. Maybe you aren't perfect, but who says perfect is beautiful. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. You may not be perfect but that whats I love about you. Being perfect means you show only a sliver not your whole. It's what you deserve to hear. That you're whole, that you're worth loving, that you're the best person I've ever known. Beauty is being the best version of yourself on the inside and out. That's what you are, even if you dismay, beautiful.

But beautiful is such a small word. Beautiful can't even begin to describe you, even if it tries. The world may be great and all but it holds no power to describe you. The closest object the world has to describe you is sunlight. Pure, innocent rays that gleam across earths surface. Shinning on life instead of its self. Only to give others it's own life so they can start their own. Not the least afraid of he dark, but instead embraces the darkness. Even in the most darkest night light still glows bright to guide many on their way. The thing about sunlight is it's necessary for life. It doesn't get the appreciation that sunlight deserves. It's just simply overlooked by many, but not me. Tris a day without you is painful, and I can't believe I survived years without you. Without your light I'm cold and lifeless. Your irreplaceable.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. The stars, one cannot describe your stars. Peering into your eyes I notice gray clouds floating about. Then the clouds separate and beneath is a blue sky. Star dancing and shinning throughout the sky. The masterpiece condensed into two circles.

I have seen faces and met many but no one has touched me like you. The night we danced I couldn't get the sensation out of my skin. Every move we took felt like it meant to be. Even at your touch I felt different, like I was lifted. My sense are heartened when you are near. I can practically hear our hearts beating in sync. It seems as though you are my cure. Around you I instantly feel better. My stomach has been in knots ever since I saw you. Except when we touch you are the cure for the knots. There is something magnificent about you.

If I could go back in time and undo the day before, I wouldn't. I may want to change my wording but I would redo the day. Because that day pressed my feelings for you. They showed how truly I feel about you. The thing is I learned that I truly do love you. You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear. I'm not saying this so you forgive me or get together with me. I'm saying this because I'm facing my fear. A person once told me to face my fear head on. That's what I'm doing right now. Being with you is scary. Nothing has put me through this much emotion. Whenever I'm near you my world turns upside down. And it scares me, but I want to be scared. If being with you means we go up and down then I'm up for it. Normal is nothing, who wants normal. I want to ride the roller coaster with you. Even during the worst times I will be seated next to you. Because if facing my fear means I'm with you then I will become fearless.

Tris I don't expect you to come running in my arms, or forgive me for that matter. I don't expect anything from you. All I want you to know is that I'm sorry. This feeling deep inside is poison to my soul. Knowing your hurt is my weakness; knowing by me is my death.

This Sunday is the Winters Solstice ball. The longest night of the year dedicated to love ones. I will be at the ball with one dance saved for you. If you still love me you will come and take this dance. Otherwise, even if it kills me, I will leave you alone in peace and wait for the day you might forgive me. My hand and heart will wait until your ready for the dance.

Because if I had to choose between loving and breathing, I would use my last breath to say I Love You.
