Unspoken Promises to Keep

What light remained was spent in writing out her thoughts on the already crowded piece of paper. So many words she'd written to him over the span of time he'd occupied that corner of her heart and yet she knew she'd never reveal them openly. What good to write all that she felt deepest with no intent to ever share them?

If envy was a sin, she would be cast down into fiery pits of hell forever since she most envied him the ability to smile when life hurt deepest while still standing strong to fight the battles set before him. Her own battles were waged within a private room in her soul decorated primarily with the ruby tears of heart's blood she had shed there. Through his guidance, she was slowly removing each tear and replacing it with a drop of clear blue water. The essence washed away the pains that had oozed over the walls until the room was unbearably close and humid.

There were days when the task felt overwhelming; when every effort to lift a single tear felt so great that she grew exhausted and fell to the floor to cry in frustration. Still, if even one solitary drop was replaced in that day, it was deemed an accomplishment. She would retire to her solitary chamber and quietly celebrate the victory, all the while wishing he knew what he had brought into her world.

Occasionally unable to find the path she needed to follow through the overgrowth which had cluttered it, she reached out a hand to him hoping he would help her to climb over the fallen trunks littering the route. With his assistance she slowly learned to avoid many of the pitfalls that had previously stopped her in her tracks; lost and uncertain. Words he used to draw her along the route, but it was not words she followed but the example set. Far easier to believe in what one sees....than in what one hears.

As the darkness fell and the point on her pencil grew dull, still she scribbled away the words of hope she had found. What dreams she could not share openly would always remain between them; a beacon of light and laughter to come, a tiny ember eager to grow into a carefully tended flame....the whisper of longings....tenderly hidden away until time should call them together....unspoken promises to keep......
