prior to the lovesick haze that clouds over my head everywhere i go now-a-days, i used to be a different person than who i see staring back at me through the mirror. the subject matter of the word love, was not in my vocabulary or was i ever planning on dabbling with the sentence structure of how to use it. i set a goal and i made an oath; a self declaration to my heart to never fall in love.
i chose to use the act of affection as a dangerous play thing. i dodged commitment front, left and center. and never took things beyond the borderline of friendship. some may call me a coward, but i saw myself as a wise coward. i wore my heart, where it belonged. behind the cages of my ribs, never on my sleeve. walls towered over me and i was guarded in a labyrinth too complicated to get through. but, i got through life quite sensibly.
until he showed up...
he showed me the epitome of love most chivalrously.
contradictions never tasted so sweet in my life.
