lover's rock...

he's told me before, that out of all the things in life there are to figure out, we've at least got an edge on one of the hardest to solve -- we're in love and that don't come easy...

as a world of unhappiness and unfamiliarity devoured me over the past few days, he stood strong and tried to coax a smile or laugh out of me at any expense... whenever the going gets tough, some assume the trouble is rooted in soured love... on the contrary, the stroke of his hand upon my head, the squeeze of his arms around my waist and the warmth of his kiss upon my lips were a guiding light to reviving a sense of contentment...

and beyond his care and attention, the reminder that i have many wonderful souls looking out for me also pulls me through... a phone call from far away, some kind words, the encouragement that it'll be alright -- the sum of these parts is immeasurable and impressionable...

the hardest part in falling is finding out how to pick yourself back up... the struggle with sadness is attempting to discover the path to happiness again... but the comfort in it all is knowing those that love me will patiently let me cry if i want to...
