I stayed in this hole until you were my ladder out

Lonely words scrolled on the screen,
A conversation of nothing.
I couldn't focus.
Not long enough to care what was being said.
I was stuck in a rut,
A pit of despair.
Crying out, helplessly.

You climbed into the hole i was in
So i wouldn't be alone.
And until then.
We were strangers.

You gave me hope,
When i had none.
You held my hand,
When i would let no one else close.
Not because I asked.
But because you wanted to.
I held on tightly
and let go two too many times.
And yet everytime,
You'd grab my hand and hold it
Tighter than you ever did before.

I blinked.
My eyelids closed for a little too long
And i went blind.
But only temporarily.
And once they opened again.
It was as though I was seeing for the first time.
You've made me feel,
And helped me see,
You're the light at the end
Of this long, dark tunnel.


[Christopher,
I know I haven't made this easy.
And I feel unworthy of your love.
Somehow, you see in me
Something that no one else does.
Show me. I both want and need
To see it for myself.
So, I'm asking you to show me.
And I'm hoping it takes forever.
♥♥♥]
