Revolutionary Compassion

As a child I had no conceivable idea of what life would be like on my own. I imagined it as a freeing experience, that I'd travel the world and create my own adventures. My own legend. Yet in today's modern day and age, dreams like those are far beyond reach. Though like any dream one must believe to achieve. Life throws you through radical changes, revolutionizing the very idea of what one's idea of life was. My life is consistently being revolutionized, my heart beating it's tireless rhythm, keeping me alive, making me endure all the sorrows, and all the glories life has given me. I've spent so much time with just me and my solitary heart that it feels almost foreign to be so in love as I am. So convinced I was that the weight of the world had to rest on my shoulders and mine alone. I knew love once before, yet I was the only one who knew it, my emotions toyed with by a child. Yet now I find an unrequited joy to know the love I know now. With someone who's heart has tread along an equally if not more arduous journey than mine. When her beautiful brilliantly blue eyes stare into mine I see an understanding. Such a mature understanding of the complexity of life, the painful sorrows and the joyous intermittent moments we all share. And in those eyes I see a reflection of the same yearning. The need to be loved, to be sacred in the eyes of another. If she only knew just how sacred she really was to me. When we lay together my heart becomes overwhelmed by the sheer volume of divinity I feel laying next to her. Each breath I take, I take a little deeper when I'm with her, each sorrow fades away as she kisses me, and every dream I've ever had...comes alive when she's by my side. Together she and I journey, growing with one another; changing one another.
