I have learned to breathe once again.

I knew it when I could look into your eyes and never want to leave and when we could both share the dark, lying side by side. In that moment, I could not believe how blessed I was; I never want to leave your side or change what we have. And I have learned to breathe with you, I have learned to live and love and in your honesty with me, a truth deeper than any other has emerged. You stole my heart and my world and I don't want it back. I know that what we see in each other is a true and honest affection that is not superficial or feigned, but true and stable. And in this world we're in now, we're not alone; I will always be there in good times and in bad and when you need someone to talk to or when your world is falling apart. I am so blessed and pray everyday to be thankful for what I have, for you. And I have learned to breathe with you in the silence between us that often says more than any words could ever say. You have revived me and taken me to a new world that I only imagined ever existed. And they can say all they want about us, they can criticize what we have but I know I love you, you are mine and with you I have learned to breathe once again.
