• Love… something so simple, yet so complex
    It has the power to envelop you in a blanket of absolute happiness
    And the power to make you feel that the world has forsaken you
    And recently, I found myself blessed and plagued with this wonderful curse

    My mind is in complete chaos
    Unaccountable emotions run rampant
    I let the pain come and go, I let it abuse me as much as it wanted, I let it satisfy its insatiable malice as I lay there, an unmoving rag doll
    But suddenly it disappeared, everything disappeared, all that was left was isolated solitude
    That's when he came

    He sat down next to me, in this blank dark world
    He says that pain was my own fault
    He says that I should end it
    He says that I should fight back
    I sit up and shake my head. I said no
    He asks me why I feel this way
    I tell him that I don't know why
    He asks what's so special about her
    I tell him that everything is
    He asks me why I don't confess
    I tell him that I don't deserve her
    He asks why I support her love interests
    I tell him that her happiness is all that matters to me
    He asks why I'm willing to go through all this torment for her
    I tell him because when she's happy, I'm happy
    He says I'm lying
    I laugh

    He sighs and looks away, but when he faces me again, his whole demeanor changes
    He no longer asks questions
    He now tells me things in a dark, merciless way
    He tells me she'll never accept me
    I tell him that she doesn't have to
    He tells me she doesn't feel the same way
    I tell him I knew that
    He tells me that she'll never be mine
    I tell him that it doesn't matter
    He tells me that I'm wasting my time on her
    I tell him she's worth every second of my life

    His face grows frustrated. He growls. He kicks at the dirt.
    I shake my head as I stand up. I wince from all the emotional scarring, but chose to ignore it, numbing it with my will. I continue on, walking aimlessly into the darkness
    He's yelling now. Why do you do this?
    I reply without turning around
    Because I love her
    Why do you hang on?
    Because I care for her

    He falls to the ground, angry tears streaming down his face
    He cries in desperation,
    Move on!
    Stop chasing this impossible dream!
    I turn my head and look at him on the ground
    I smile gently as I tell him,
    As long as I can dream, I will keep on dreaming
