And in the end…there is love.

Numb

Posted on Tuesday 12 August 2008

A week ago, all I wanted was numb.
I didn’t want to feel.
Self-preservation.
Protection.
Survival.

A week ago, I decided to shut down.
It was easier that way.
Hidden away.
Blank.
Alone.

But last night, my resolve crumbled.
A friend made me laugh.
A child made me smile.
A hug made me feel.
A kiss on the cheek made me happy.

So the numb is fleeing.
And while the pain is still there.
The love is stronger.

Today I will feel.
