I have a vivid memory of the day I first met you.

And instead of bringing me to tears, like it has been for a long time, it actually makes me smile.

You were this little ball of sunshine with scars to hide, words unspoken, secrets buried deep so inside you, I doubted whether you yourself could unveil them anymore.

Still, I pushed everything aside, and before I knew, you were everything.

You were life. You were destruction.

You had been restraining yourself for a long time. You let yourself go. And when you did, you swept me with you.

You were innocence.

You were love.

You were Faith.
