Pain
Too often I'd bury myself in my own sorrows, never wanting to come out, never wanting anything better. All of my fears and my regrets would reduce me to a shadow underneath my bed, where I'd dig into my darkness. And then he'd come along, and just for a while, he would share in my pain. I'd drown my sorrows in his light, smile for the first time in weeks, and we'd cry together.
He's my safe haven amidst a sea of pain.
