Defiance

I know that love is defiant, because I tried to kill her.

I know she is ruthless, because she ripped me apart.

When she rescued me, I discovered her mercy.

...it was only after all this that I saw her beauty.

From her defiance, I learned that she has no rival.

When she destroyed me, I learned that pain is not final.

In her mercy, I learned compassion.

And in her beauty, I discovered my own.

...only after all this did I understand what it means to be alive.

This is my resume...my romance.

It is how I can stare through your eyes, speak directly to your heart & say...

“Don't be afraid.”
