The Story of Us

"This isn’t a bad story, but it’s not an entirely good story either. This is the story of us. Of me, really. And the guy who changed my life. But, not in the he-swept-me-off-my-feet-and-then-everything-was-Ok sense. No. He walked into my life like a thunderstorm would the sky; stirring things up and shaking me to my core. He was unsettling and uncontrolled. He wasn’t the safe bet. He was scary in an anything-could-happen kind of way. But just like a good thunderstorm, he was also wholly beautiful. His presence couldn’t be ignored. He awoke something within me that I didn’t even know was there. And after you’ve seen the sky in a thunderstorm’s aftermath, the everyday ordinary blue just looks a little too dull in comparison."
