I Wake Up...

with my phone still clutched in my hand from a late night of texting you. first reaction. start texting again. i miss you the instant you leave. you make my life so much easier to deal with. i numb myself to the outside world. but you find a way in. my armor cracked. my defenses breached.  you save me with a sentence and help me live with a syllable. i want to thank you. you are the most beautiful person i have ever met, inside and out. your heart of gold never ceases to amaze me. how you can care for a shell of a human like myself is beyond me.  thank you, for being my light in the darkness. thank you for giving me something to live for.
