What I Learned

1/1

I thought I loved you once upon a time.

When the snow began to fall, that was the start of it all. It was strange to say the least. You were you and I was me. I did things you didn’t see. You pretended to care about me. Our feeling might have never been true. We thought we knew things we didn’t know.

But that was almost a year ago. The confusion I felt has long since been marked a mystery I’ll never figure out.

Now I’m here. Standing in the rain, smiling at the Moon. Strong arms are wrapped securely around my waist. They belong to a beautiful boy with a beautiful heart and a beautiful face. As I return his embrace I ask the Moon to send my thanks to you.

With the tools you gave me, I found my heart. With the cards Fate played me, this beautiful boy has the key. And because of everything I now know what it means to speak those words I once used so carelessly.

In the moonlight I look into his eyes, his lips brush mine as he says, “I love you.” Those words fill my heart with a warm and content feeling that is oh so new and I reply, “I love you too.”
