It Was You


I don't know how to write about you. 
I don't know how to write about our road trips without ending them with a tragic car crash. 
I don't know how to write about you surprising me with roses without saying how I got stuck by the thorns. 
I don't know how to write about meeting your grandparents without adding that they didn't like me. 
I don't know how to write about us making love without telling how you choked me. 
I don't know how to write about you, and I couldn't ever put my finger on the reason why until now. 
I don't know how to write about you because you're good, not bad. 
I don't know how to write about you because, in all this darkness, you were the light that showed me the way home.
