I
CAN BE SLOW The first time I saw you I will admit, it was not love. It was lust. pure unadulterated teenage hormones rampaging through my vains in the ancient tradition of teenage hot-bloodedness. The first time I saw past the hormones and realized how beautiful you really were, as a person, was the first time I felt hope for the future of our species, as long as there are people like you in this world there is hope. I know I can be slow, and I know I was too slow, but as telling the truth will have the same outcome as telling lie I may as well tell you that you are my Morning Star; The love that lights the dark recesses of my heart; You are what is good about the world; What is happy about my day; What makes the world spin. I do not expect you to love me back, in fact I have loved you for so many years without reciprocation that I'm not sure I would know what to do if you were to love me. It took me some time, I will admit. There were many emotions ranging from sadness to joy and I admit a bit of jealousy but the last time I saw you there was nothing but love, and that is all I could need or want. Tá grá agam, Slán agat (I love
you, Good bye said by the one who is leaving) |
