Speechless

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show,
That you I've come to know.

The naked mole rat is a pinkish-grey, furless, wrinkled little rodent. For a long time, he was too caught up in his own burrowed world to recognize the sunlight and all the life it inspired. Then one day, he peeped up at the surface and was greeted with a deep breath of fresh air. His lungs exploded with exhilaration.

The endless range of open spaces and their vibrant depiction ignited his passion for existence. He held onto every single day. He spent every waking moment soaking up the sun. He embraced its energy and warmth. Every dark cool night was spent in anticipation for the next promise of dawn. Like an overwhelming stream of thoughts racing through his brain; no longer left wanting.

The sun inquired the reason for such absolute devotion. He turned and simply said, "Just you".

****************

I love you too.
