I close my eyes
All I see is you
When I wake in the morning
My thoughts are of you
You are in my soul
Like a ray of sunshine
Or a heavenly angel
You are all I want
All I need
More than my next breath
I cannot live without you
Any more than a fish can live outside water
My heart aches when we're apart
And when I lie down at night
My arms ache to hold you
I am weak
I cannot continue
And then you come to me
With sunlight in your eyes
I know it's a dream
But it's my fondest wish
I feel you in my arms again
And it is sweet
Like heaven
I love you.
Mon ami.

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
Simon and Garfunkel
Yes, the number 7 is a powerful number, and 7 sevens is even more powerful, evoking the Hebrew Year of Jubilee when all the slaves were set free. Good job on picking up on that! You're clearly very intelligent... :-)
It's difficult to express one's self, particularly when emotions are so charged. I find that writing things down helps me to find voice to emotions that are either too powerful to keep in or too complicated to organize in any other way. I never know what exactly will happen when I open myself in this way, but I find that I cannot keep things inside very well...
I'm glad you can relate to the feeling. It makes me happy to think that I'm not as strange as I sometimes feel. I guess I'm not as alone as I thought I was! Thank you!
And I agree - there are some things that are too sacred, too powerful to share. So it means a lot that you would share this with me. Thank you!
There comes sometimes a task unbidden
That reaches down into depths hidden
And makes us lions of kittens
Until that day with heavenly wings
My heart with angelic choir sings
I will keep and remember these things
I will remember.
