I wrote this for something for work, but it seems appropriate to post it here for Kimmy. Love. I always thought I would have found it by now. I am not just talking about an emotion shared between two people. I mean something greater, an unparalleled connection, something so pure, something so soulful; something that transcends any other experience that you ever shared with anyone in your life. I know it is hard to find but I just thought I would have reached with someone, in that way. Now, now the road ahead is so uncertain and I have been touched by the dark and it wants to keep me there, it doesn’t want to let go, it surrounds me, isolates me and then it try’s to suffocate me. But the more it try’s to do that, the stronger I must become, with each obstacle it throws into my path it will cover me with a coat of new resilience. I cannot let it turn my fears into bitterness, my failures into depression, my hopes and dreams must live on, as they always have and I will take this evil and I will turn it around, against itself because what does not kill me will make me stronger and on the days when I can no longer walk, those will be the days when I learn to fly and if that love does not seek me out in this lifetime then I shall find it in the next when all those who have gone before us will be re-united with their soul mates and we will stand together so pure of heart that our strength will never die. And those who looked down upon us, who tried to isolate us, whose contempt for us was always made so clear, I will pity them, for such a love they could never have, for they were the ones who were consumed by their own fears and ignorance and as we rise up they will look up towards us but we, we will no longer see them as they just fade away. Then our hearts will be triumphant when the angels hold our hands through this life, or the next.
