I Found You

Within Me, There Was Always You

12
I Found You
Molly Camille Janusz

I found you in the deepest and darkest place I could have ever found anyone.

I was lost, terrified and needed someone to confide in and you were there.

From the moment I saw you, you were a piece of heaven to me. Little did I know that your words would take my soul and make me new again.

I constantly would gaze as you would walk by, slowly taking air out of my lungs and filling the atmosphere around me with a hope I cannot explain.

Even in your most desperate times, you held what seemed to be completely solid and strong from the outside, that was wilting within and made it seem like nothing could stop you. And the truth is, nothing could.

You rose to the occasion that you desired. You changed your body and mind to be someone you had desired to be forever and did I ever think that you would be able to change mine with a few simple words?

You took my thoughts and put them into a bubble that I could actually comprehend and make sense of. How could you possibly do that? No one could.

I found you in the caverns of my heart, lying around, waiting to make a change inside of myself and yours. Little did I know that you would teach me the lessons I never knew I needed to learn and that you, too, would change and quit the bad habits that consumed you.

You told me never to do something that didn’t make my heart 100% happy; if you weren't going to be fully consumed by it, then don’t let it take control of you at all.

I found you in a place of willingness to become a better person. You showed me how you were able to raise yourself up from a place you were stuck in and really had no desire to be in and taught me that I too, could become better. I could become a healthier version, someone who was able to rise up to any occasion given and be able to stand strong and say: I believe in myself.

I found you in a complete place of solitude.

You taught me that the only way to be completely content and happy is to be in complete solitude with yourself; to be one within your own body, mind, spirit and soul. You taught me to be more than I could ever be within a few short conversations that were simplistic on your end, as you had already discovered these little wonders that would forever change my life.
