From Zero to One

I used to think I didn't need anyone.
I used to think that I could be complete all alone.
I tried to shut my eyes to how frozen I was becoming from the cold shards of glass, as they sank down into my heart and blinded me.
I had nothing to be obsessed with, because I had no possesions.
That was the only thing that comforted me against my fear of the dismal reality.
But ...

I was lonely...
I was sad and I was desolate.
I was supposed to be complete.
Even when alone...
But I just couldn't be.
I didn't even have someone's name to call out when I was all alone in the darkness.
I wanted to tell that certain someone...
Because I only had one possession...
Because I was the only thing to protect or lose...
I clasped it tightly to my chest.
I couldn't afford to let anyone take it away from me.
I wanted to tell that special person that I've only been gasping for breath on that painfully cold winter night.
Bundled up just like that.

And I wanted to tell him that I never wanted to go back to that frozen, snow-covered world.
And now, I long for our hearts to thaw together, side by side, flushed red and pulsing with love...
And to soon become one.
