The Best Kind

He lives 

on my every breath,

in every thought,

in every moment.

I am infatuated, 

consumed by him.

burning in love

unlike ever before.

He was unexpected,

but darling,

isn't that the best kind?

    Have you ever read The Discernment of Spirits: A Ignation Guide for Everyday Living by Fr. Timothy Gallagher? I think that you would find a real benefit to it! As Plato writes in the voice of Socrates: "The unobserved life is not worth living," and I see a real desire for that reflective point of view through your writing. It has been quite an empowering read thus far, and I feel too few people are without such a useful tool as Ignation Discernment. May Jesus bless and keep you!

Yes, You.

 I'm mad at you. Yes, you. You know who you are. I'm mad because you showed me everything that I could possibly ever want in a man and then you left. You had a good reason for leaving.  I can't deny that. I'm mad, though.  I'm left looking for someone exactly like you. We both know that there isn't anyone quite like you though,  is there? Yes, you. You know who you are. -Emma Lancaster

Memorize

 That very first night. What a night. When he put his arm around me for the first time, it was like the world collapsed into place with a sigh of relief.  Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize someone's heartbeat? Did you know that in a span of a few hours, you can memorize the way they breathe? The way their arms feel pulling you in as tight as they can to protect you from the scary movie, and the scent of their body spray? You can memorize it. It's that feeling. That feeling. Feeling safer than I had in months, falling asleep on his chest.  Deciding that was where I wanted to stay. And stay is what I did. -Emma Lancaster
