Exceptional Another note from love to loved. The Purifying Flame : Confessions by K. Olsen

Confessions, I confess, are not my strength, yet every time I see your blue-sky eyes, I feel the universe pause and catch its breath as I have often forgotten to.   It is difficult to exist in the world with this secret locked in me, and double the challenge of staying open, although you place your faith in me.   I wonder oftentimes in quiet places what cosmic good I did to tip Fortune's favored scales enough to bring you close to me.   And yet, this aching distance remains between what I am and what I wish, whether because my words mute become or our stars simply do not align.   Still, I would rather go on feeling the pain in hopes of tasting sweetness, than return again to the emptiness where no hope or longing sits.   They say those who love are blind, but never have I seen you more clearly than when we are alone walking amidst the shadows of both my and your abyss.
