Remember

Do you remember the first time you fell in love? How all consuming it was? Do you recall the first time they said your name? The way only their voice could tame? Do remember the first time another's lips touched yours? The way you inhaled as if you forgot how to breathe? Did you forget how to speak? Do you recall the first time you felt desired? Did you see it as lust? Or did you believe that love was required? Do you remember the first time they looked you in the eyes? How did you feel? Did you feel as if their could be no lies swimming in those eyes? That they only contained life? Do you still hold onto that ache? Does it still cause you pain? If so, why don't you let it all go? I hope that you know, you don't have to hold on to it anymore. You deserve the world, and you deserve to find the happiness you craved from others within yourself. You deserve to be wanted, not simply needed. You deserve to feel love, not just love. You're so much stronger than you'll ever know, and you deserve to feel at home. Tell me, do you remember the fist time you felt joy? Even if it was just for a second, that you felt no pain? Tell me, do you recall the first time you walked outside, and saw the sky? The moment you fell in-love with not only the beauty around you, but the delicate intricate nature of it all? Did it give you pause? Tell me, did you stand open-mouthed in awe? If nature can mend, then why do you feel as if you heart cannot mend? This doesn't have to be the end, because eventually your heart and mind will convalesce.
