Wisp

I had always walked alone. I always got by groping around the dark. Finding my way. My own way.
Then you appeared, lighting my life. You showed me the world around me as you illuminated it with your sometimes blinding radiance.
You showed me that I didn't have to grope in the dark. That I didn't have to be alone. You showed me, your way.

Then just as quickly as you appeared, you vanished. My world was plunged back into darkness. But its different now. I am no longer happy groping around in the dark. I am no longer happy being alone. It is only torment to have tasted bliss, only to be forsaken from it, even for the slightest.
If I knew I had to endure times without your light, then I'd rather not have known your warmth at all. I'd rather be blissfully ignorant in the dark.

Yet you come and go as you please without a care in the world. Why should you? You are but a wisp, flickering nonchalantly in the darkness. Little do you know that you are my guiding light in this darkness. The only light I can depend on. And for now, you're gone.

-Knowledge is power,but ignorance is bliss. Thus knowledge exposes you to despair. -Me, circa 1999

Million

Inspired while walking on the rain-wet pavement to my car.

You are, my one in a million.
But I am merely your one out of a million.

ooooh. Try saying that the other way round, and it gets a different effect.

I am merely your one out of a million.
But you are, my one in a million.
