Part I - Rapture

Once again, treading softly, she trespasses my dreams with early morning footprints, and I awake with sunlight streaming through the slits of the window. My heart skips a beat and I slowly loose grip on my feet as I stumble out of bed. And at that moment I know it will be another bitter cold morning that I’m stuck behind the keyboard writing what thoughts come to me, trying to sort it all out.

Somehow I have found myself, once again, falling for the impossible and complicated. I’m not sure how to harness my feelings without pulling myself below the surface with an anchor around my neck. The previous attempts at following my heart usually has me ending up drowning in desolation and self-pity and I find myself wandering aimlessly about the wilderness. And this time I have everything to lose.

But there’s something about this girl that is magnetic and purely attractive and it’s not just her physical appearance. Even though her smile and her eyes do touch my soul, like tendrils of sunlight, I still try and keep my distance, painful as it may be. I have complete respect and absolute admiration for her and I would really like to get to know her well because her personality and her life burn a strong brilliance and desire in my heart. If I could just let it all go, I would, because the stakes and risks are too great to be following what I know to be a dream.
