To Geirone For Finding Me And Taking Me To A Home Named Belonging

I was in pain-helplessly hurting-that I wished the world would swallow me whole and leave no trace of my dire existence. I was a cold place like the tears of the unheard voices that were screaming in the evening. I was the unread pages of a book that was rotting on the barren shelf.Until you found me lost in that ocean of empty people under the waves of rain - the world started to show me colors. The first smile; the first ‘hello’; the first touch; the first conversation; the first time I felt human; I knew I was diving into a better realm of the universe.You took me out of the wilderness of sorrow and brought me home to a place I called ‘Belonging’.To Geirone; the lost; those that are found; those that are searching find this. This is our story. Ours is a story that is meant to be told carefully.
