Do I dare lift my eyes to yours? For I know I will be laved away in the deep and roaring riptides of your soul, just as the ocean pulls thousands of grains of sand from the shore. Do I dare find the answer I have searched for in this sometimes dark and disillusioned world? For in the soul of this man that stands before me could be the answer to all i have desired. Yet there is a part of my being telling to run, to take flight into the wind and not look back. You have become a part of this woman, just as the dew becomes a part of the mornings song. I feel the blossom of something startling and new growing in the deepest most secret parts of myself. The start of a fantastic voyage carrying me to places I have only dreamed. Here i stand in this silent and unknown port waiting for your ship to come and collect me. Yet i quaver from what is unknown to me, like a new born babe just opening her eyes to see the beauty of the world. In the timeless and never ending world that lovers dwell i see a man off in the distance. Watching him stray ever closer to my heart, slowly becoming all I believed a kindred should be. Fear and excitement overpower my mind, as I surly never expected to find him there. Traveling toward my inner self not unlike the hurricane travels toward some unsuspecting shore. The walls around my heart are tall, looming over my soul with a fierce passion. Yet he has found a small and unnoticed crack there, chipping away slowly, surely finding his way to my heart. Oh pray tell me what is this woman to do? To go forward into this realm would surely be a chance, knowing that one day his love will part, leaving me alone once again on this desolate shore. My heart speaks to me in many tongues, beating faster with each waking moment. My mind holds back the feelings I've longed to know. Yet as each day slowly fades into a memory, I feel his hands reaching out to me. I am the moth and he the flame, drawn to his brilliant light, knowing one day, this moth will be burned by his illumination.
