Page 242 of A Love Like Venom

I’m completely lost in her and would be completely lost without her.

The truth is the world can be a dark and scary place. When we find the light and see the world the way it’s supposed to be, beautiful and full of hopes and dreams then we must hold onto it for as long as we can.

I always thought my world would remain black. That my days of beauty were numbered and the light I touched when I was young was only temporary.

The truth is I see the beauty this world has to offer every day. I wake up and find something more beautiful than the day before. There’s darkness still, inside and around me, and I have accepted that there always will be. But that light I talked about holding on to I have that in my hands forever, even if I let go. You see the light will always find me and it will pull me from the depths of my own black hole.

Light always wins.

Especially when that light is the love of your life.

Now I’m not the best of men. I never claimed to be. In a world based on black and white I land on the darker side. But there’s a grey area. An area where darkness meets light and lives in perfect sync.

That’s where Alice and I live. It’s where we belong. She is the light and I’m the darkness. But together . . . together we create the most beautiful eclipse.

She was right.

But so was I.

Our love is strong enough to survive anything.

And it always will be.

Alice and I were destined.

I wished for her upon a star, and it was my first wish to ever come true.

In my heart I know even if I hadn’t of made that wish she would have still found her way into my life.

Because the reality of it is we were two people with only half of a heart and part of our souls and when we met that first night, we found our missing halves to become whole.
