Echo Chamber

To say that my heart resonates with yours,

Would be an understatement.
The more I listen or read your words
The more I want to follow you to the ends of the earth.


Even though I don't understand
And my lack of understanding hurts me
I don't blame you
I just want to run to you and sit by your side

It scares me.
Frightens me that my heart has chosen
Against my willpower
To follow yours.

Please...
Treat it gently.
It's the only one I have
And it has already been tortured and beaten before you got it.

Sometimes by my hand
Sometimes by the hands of others I have trusted prematurely
Against all odds and all sense,
I love you.

I know this isn't fair.
You didn't choose any of this
Or maybe you did
In some way that neither of us will understand for years.

I'm willing to wait around to figure it out.
Are you?
