You wonder
how you ended up falling
in love
with such darkness
in another person.
Maybe it was because
it was the kind of darkness
that you did not fear.
Maybe It was
a kind of darkness
so familiar,
that you believed
that if you just
came close to the heart of it
you could see a wick,
and light it back.
But,
my love,
you ended up here
not because you were broken
or incomplete,
but because
you carried enough light
for the both of you.
