I cannot claim to have seen horrors in my short life. I cannot claim that I know what truly lies in wait to sweep you under in this world. But though I am somewhat unexperienced in this life, I have known pain. No worse so than the emptiness when you look upon another couple. Loving each other in all that they are. You don't care wiether or no they will make it, all you care about is that seeing them together like that leaves a hollowness inside of your heart. It is bothersome. It is lonely. It is cold

But... just last night at 3am... my loneliness was fully filled. My heart having beat ever closer to my new-found mate finally we agreed that we love one another~! I held her in my arms, as we kissed, pulling back for a tear to well up in my eye, as I asked if I could say it. Alun was without words, but gave me that reassuring nod. And we said it... How my heart lit aflame in passion having finally been sated after its long solitary beating in the dark. To be brightened to a point that my smile still refuses to leave my face~! That I cried, overjoyed, holding my love in my arms. Finally... I am truly happy.

I am optimistic. I feel that this will grow into something stronger than any the world has yet seen. My Ithnal is the only other I will ever need in this regard. I may come to have children one day, and I will love them as well. But I have finally found my whole. There will be rocky times, I am wise enough to admit that, but though our time together be young, I know we will weather the storms that come our way. I have faith and trust in that. In Alun.

I have always said that love was out there, you just had to find it. Well. Here it is.
