a certain slant of light | completed;

𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣

I wish I could've thanked you. . .

For fighting with me day after day, because after that, I learned to pick my worthwhile battles,

For pushing me beyond my limit, because after that, I have known new bounds,

For not always giving me what I want, because after that, I could understand how much I really wanted them,

For giving me a slice of your self, because after that, I knew that love can grow in the heart of even the most heartless people,

For forgiving me whenever I bitch around, because after that, I came to the realization that people can still admire not just your brightness, but also your shadows,

For loving my lacked light, because after that, I knew that you were the one my darkness longed for, even if time for us was fleeting,

And for not entertaining my questions, because after that, I finally knew it myself.

The answers were the scars we gave each other.
