Love me like only you can

I never thought there was anything for me in this world, a bad string of people and encounters one following the other never remarkable or interesting.
Usually painful until the numbing sensation took over and there was nothing left that wanted to feel ...to fight to exist.

I wanted to stop existing curl in on myself and disappear forever.
This strange feeling kept nagging at me, it was relentless and constant.
I could hear it when I woke when I slept it was even louder, humming in my skull like to many thoughts all trying to make them selves heard all at once.

They were all of you, it took me a few years but finally the thoughts grew a voice of their own and what I heard was you.

Soft whispers and cries constant calls demanding that I listen, that I feel what you were offering before you even know your hand was held out to me.

You loved me like only you could, and I never forgot even when all the lights were gone and nothing else existed but sad numbness that never let up I held onto you.

I was more scared of that then I have ever been of anything else in my entire life, but I said it.

I love you too, I'm glad you found me and even for all my flaws and short comings.
Everything that I see as wrong you love in me, I'll never forget that or your love.

I'll never let you go either, as long as you still love me as only you can.
