Rhythm Of My Sole

October 2022

Dear R, 

I know this year has been filled with it’s peaks and troughs. But from the day we met, you’ve always remained by my side. I’m grateful that you’re back in my life especially despite all the things I have said and thought about you. From the day that I let you in, you changed my life. How I wish I had known then, that you were here to help make me the person I’m destined to be - the person whom I had always dreamt of being. Thank you for making me feel invincible and that I can do anything that I put my mind to.

Whenever we spent time alone, I dreaded it. At times, being with you felt like a punishment - maybe because I had been swayed by the impressions others had about you, or because it felt like you had taken time away from things I thought I loved most.

But you’ve taught me some very valuable lessons - that no matter how hard life gets, no matter how difficult things may be, that I will be able to overcome them and everything will end up exactly how they’re meant to be. You’re the pounding in my heart, and the rhythm of my sole. Thank you for everything you’ve given to me.
