i was just thinking :: prev :: next :: As this dark night comes to an end, and I see the sun as if it were for the first time, (perhaps it is...) and I find that someone deep inside was waiting all this time, someone who was beaten and left for dead long ago, someone beautiful, and thoughtful, and full of life, and hopeful, and courageous, and as I find myself again and again pinching my skin to prove I'm not dreaming, and as all the weights of the past drop off like dead scales, and as truly, for the first time, possibly ever, I feel alive... I just wanted to tell you, you're in to me through and through, you're under my skin, you're in my head and heart, and the smell of your skin is with me here and now, and it melts me into a puddle beneath your feet, and that you know, you know, long ago I lost my belief that my soul had a single match, designed from destiny, but you have come, so gently, with such force, so unexpectedly, when I was content with my convictions, and removed all doubt. And now I can never go back, for now I am completely in to you, now all that was out of place, all that was lying on the ground in pieces is swept away, washed out to sea. Truly, all poetic devices aside, I could write these words for you straight from my heart from now until eternity, yet it would all be a miserable failure in truly trying to describe who you are, and how you draw who I am out of me, and what you mean to me, and how much I truly love you. © 2002 (11 january) john r. chase
