Once upon a time...

Living in the dark drove demons into my mind, bringing about tears and sadness that one couldn’t even comprehend. Their tongues lashed at my wounds, never allowing them to heal. And I didn’t think I’d be able to escape. And I didn’t think I’d be able to smile again. But then you showed me what it was like to be beautiful inside. Your gaze was never cruel or sympathetic, but soft and sure and my life began to move on. And each look and word of yours pressed into my heart so that I will keep that remembrance of you forever and without a doubt.
