The Soul Reason

You ever just wake up and think, "Is this worth it? Is this all really worth all the bullshit and suffering I'm going through?"

No. It's not. Countless upon countless of reasons not to put up with any of this. Reasons, if weighed, no Iron-Man could ever possibly lift. No one could carry the burdens of the world, the world itself can't carry its own. Yet, this enormous weight is upon my shoulders, buckling my back, weakening my knees; blood, sweet, and tears are flowing - a great river of the mixture. Nothing could be worth this much pain that one has to endure...

Until I found you. You, my sole reason to continue, to breathe, and slowly try to handle and balance the weight. Teaching me, loving me, to see it as something insignificant as opposed to our love. Showing me that no matter how tremendous it is... I can see to it to make it smaller, break into fragments off my shoulders so my arms are free to wrap around you. My knees able to bend again to lift you in my arms and spin you as that smile continues to open my eyes to the beauty around the world.

Only you can show me all those things. Only you will be the only one I'll ever need. Only you can show me the truest, purest of loves... You are the reason of my existence. The reason I stand, not in front of you, but by your side as your equal.
