✙What Love really is...✙
I dreamed I was drowning, being dragged down to the bottom of the ocean by another version of myself. I reached my hands upwards, and someone grabbed my by my wrists. Two someones to be exact, one for each arm. As they worked together to lift me up, the me dragging me down continued to pull at my ankles, not letting her grip go.
"Don't let me drown!!" I had cried out, tears down my face. My eyes were closed out of fear, because I didn't know my fate. Suddenly, my ankles were thrown loose, and I kicked myself free with the help of the two people. As they helped me onto the docks, my tears continued to flow nonstop until I opened my eyes. Liz held one arm, and Lukas the other. I looked at Liz, my lip quivering. Lukas let go of my arm, and walked away with a shrug of his shoulders. Liz smiled gently, and looked over at Lukas.
"Follow him…" she said, "It's time you let go of the past, of me. He's there for you now. Go." with those words,she let go of my arm, and faded away into the sunset, glittering dust.
"Lukas!" I called out, reaching for him. He turned back to me, the sun glinting on his glasses. As I stood, he took a few steps towards me. Our hands met, and my dried up tears started to fall once more. He embraced me into his arms as I let the tears flow. "Promise me you'll always be there…" I whispered. His embrace tightened, and he lay his head on my shoulder.
"What made you think I'd ever leave?" He whispered into my right ear. "I'll always be there for you, do anything for you… I love you."
"I'm so sorry." I said.
"For what?" he replied.
"Ever doubting us. Doubting myself. I've been the hero for so long, doing what others wanted me to so they would be happy… I thought this was one of those times, but I was wrong. I just… I've lost so much, and my fears get the best of me. I'm strong because without that strength, what would be left of me? I wear a mask every single day I'm alive… I've lost myself and I need help to find me again…" My heart ached when I said this, because the truth finally had shown itself. An ugly truth of a broken girl…
Lukas lifted up his head, and our eyes met. His eyes were wet with unshed tears, tears caused by me. I didn't know what to say- had just telling him changed his mind?
"Then, I'll help you find her. The real you. I've seen glimpses, and that's who I fell in love with. We can put you back together. Together, we can do anything. Promise." His tears started to fall, and joined mine from earlier. The tears met on the docks between us, and that was then I knew he would never give up on me- that he really was the one, even if I didn't know it...
