It started out as a purely physical attraction,
A built up of lust, all consuming, all fiery.
Attraction led by the eyes.

But over time it deepened.
I fell in love with your soul.
You drew me in and consumed me whole.

I felt your pain, I felt the darkness.
I know of your struggles,
The conflict inside, the battles, the constant raging war.

You opened up and showed me your vulnerability.
You told me your story, you showed me a part of your soul.

And I praise you, I commend you for your bravery, for your courage, for your strength, for your endurance.

I was drawn to you in a way I couldn't prevent. I always felt something deeper, that the attraction wasn't purely superficial.
