The Path

For the future we always wanted and dream of, may it shine as brightly and hopefully as your eyes. The eyes that see past my mask, the eyes that pierce the depths of my heart. The one that makes me vulnerable, willing to sacrifice everything.

The path that we both desperately seek, may it converge and never separate, bond us for eternity. I do not know how I ended up on this road. I was chasing life, pushed by the dice that control my life, somehow, someway, came to a cross roads with you.

It all began so simple. I thought we were chasing the same thing, so we walked for a while, seeing where the path might lead. My intentions were pure—just a helping hand for another traveler.

Yet somewhere along the way, I found myself wishing for the path to never end. That this journey was just the beginning. That I loved the path because you were there—standing next to me.

I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t help it. Something unforeseen took hold, pulling me deeper—falling in to the uncharted depths of my heart. In the hidden meadows, slowly and shyly, you grew.

Now, I am mesmerized—protective as if you were my own. My mind wanders, standing next to me, would you travel this path with me? Would you hold my hand and never let it go? Put your head on my shoulder and share the burden with me?

The sun, the trees, the wind—all forces of life conspire in harmony. The seven wonders, the eye of the universe, and even the smallest breath of existence echoes with your presence. You left me vulnerable and open, craving more and more of you. I know it’s wrong. I can’t help it.

As if bound by magic, why can’t I free myself from the thoughts of you? Why do I keep coming back to you, over and over? No matter how hard I try to let go, the path leads me back to you—falling deeper and further into you…
