Connection

Have you ever been connected to another Person? I mean truly connected Not a whimsical fantasy.

Such a connection is rare and can be scary. To feel what another feels To have intimate knowledge on them is a blessing and a curse.

For if the relationship is fine, Waves of happiness and light hit you like an ocean, lifting you up But if things start to change, The waves begin to churn like that of a storm coming in. It's hard to feel at first but slowly the light you used to see everywhere has dimmed.

And then The storm comes... When things finally break, the waves of warmth and light turn cold and painful. Happiness turns into confusion, pain, and longing.

From the moment the other person wakes up until they finally fall asleep you are assaulted by these feelings, Knowing that you cannot do anything about them. They are your fault You caused them but must be silent for that is the others wish.

So you go through your days trying to stay standing in the surf waiting for those pleasant hours when they sleep. And also dreading them For in those hours you feel lost, this connection is all you have left to hold on to.

Have you ever been connected to some one, truly connected? It is a blessing and a curse
