Comfort in Sound

Posted by Cabboose on Sep-16-2009

There’s this sound, it’s been around for a while.
A beating, a dull throbbing.
Deep and powerful, like distant thunder.
Pounding in a steady rhythm,
Each beat comes with a memory,
And with each memory, a smile on one’s face.
How many times have I heard it thud?
Too many times to count I’m sure.
This ongoing drumming, with no sign of stopping,
’What is it?’ I bet you are wondering.
It’s the sound of my heart, aching for you.
Beating patiently, never faltering.
This is the heart that will beat for you,
Until the day it beats no more.

There are some things in life that come and go. It’s the way of the world, and there is no stopping it. Some things, however, do not change. Some things are constant. Some things will last an eternity.

For a long time, you have been a light in my life. You came out of nowhere and touched my very soul. You’d take my breath away just by wandering into my thoughts. I thought I was happy before, but after you I realise how much I was missing.

When I found you, my life suddenly had purpose and direction. I could see my life mapping out before me, and it felt right, it felt good, and I got a feeling thinking about it that I cannot put into words. An unexplainable feeling, but it felt unbelievably good.

I know that you’d wonder how you could cause all that. But if you think you are too odd or different, I guess that I am too, cause we fit together like jigsaw pieces, however irregular.

You are a person of beauty that extends way beyond the physical plane. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder is stunned by it. Your kindness, your humour, your passion (and yes, even your oddities ;) ) reach out to me in every way. You have your fair share of problems (or more so in fact) but despite all of it you remain yourself, a good person. You put people ahead of yourself probably too much for your own good, you care, you’re smirt, and you make me laugh and smile without even trying.
You’re an amazing person and it’s a shame that you cannot see it yourself right now, but you will one day.

When I lost you it all went crashing down. I was plunged into darkness. That direction I had was suddenly lost and I didn’t know where I was going with anything. I’d lost my light.

Recently that light is coming back. I feel things as before, like nothing has changed, as strong as ever. I do not want to lose that again. A second chance doesn’t always come, but when it does and it’s what you want, you need to grasp at it or it could slip away for good this time.

Our future hangs in the balance. Apart, we are small signal flares that can try to assist each other in times of darkness. As one, we’d set the world ablaze, banishing the darkness for good.
