Do You Love Me?

I stood there, cold as ice, freezing. I could not believe what had just happened. I was alone; completely and utterly alone. As the black of night slowly enveloped me, I began to cry. Tears flowed down my face like a hurricane. Uncontrollable rage took a stranglehold of my emotions, and I started shaking. Unintelligible mumbling was all that came out when I tried to talk. I looked for anyone or anything to help me, but no one was there. Just yesterday I had felt so loved and warm, but now, all I felt were the frozen tears dripping down my face. She had broken my heart.

All that had been was gone. All my hopes and dreams had been shattered; I was left with a feeling of emptiness and disillusionment.

After years of emotional struggle, withering away as a human being and wondering whether or not I could ever trust anyone as I had before, I finally found the answer to my questions. Someone up in the clouds had seen me struggling, saw that I needed someone in the world, and had sent her as an angel to save me. I discovered something in her that I didn’t know human beings were capable of: true love. This true love isn’t found every day. Only those people who truly believe in love, those that truly care about how you feel, hold that power. The power of true love knows no boundaries, and although at times it looks like the dark will never give way to the light, wait and hope. I waited and I hoped, and true love came to me, and changed my life forever.
