Base of Love

Dearly Beloved,

     It's probably impossible for me to fully convey how much you mean to me - but I'll try.  My life's calling is a lonely one, though it may not initially seem like it.  Very frequently I am surrounded by people, all in high spirits and laughing.  They leave me out of it, though.  I know not why, but I'm very infrequently even glanced at, let alone gazed at in admiration, or even touched!  But everything changed when you walked in.  You couldn't see me staring, Thank Aoide.  I watched, like a fly on the wall, as you uncertainly stepped into the room, your face shifting from nervousness to pure delight.  My heart sung with joy.  I felt as if I could feel the bliss build up, bubbly, inside your heart, your energy raised as you thirstily drank in your surroundings.  You heard the deep oceanic bass that I love so much too and tried to morph with it.  That's when I fell for you; but oh how it ached to see you finally leave on that fateful night!  I never got your name but every time I caught your fleeting glances it made shivers reverberate throughout my body.  I longed to see more of you but knew to only expect to never be blessed with your visage again.

     Weeks passed sullenly by.  Everytime the thought of you crossed my mind I shook my head at my folly for falling for you.  Then, one blessed day, you came back!!! As I worked, I saw you transform from a wallflower into a goddess of undulation.  I changed you; I brought you up and out of yourself and I couldn't be happier!  It was a such a blessing to do my job now because you always gave me such tender looks.  Suddenly, I had you and I didn't feel so alone, for I saw that we shared something deep and that you too were lonely.  I hope you didn't take my silence about it towards you as coldness.... I couldn't help it. 

     You kept coming back for years.  I yearned for a deeper connection, watching you with bated breath.  One day, it happened.  I had gone quite a long while without seeing you (really, my heart was breaking over it because that's how much you mean to me, and I was so worried!).  When you walked in though, the first thing you did was greet me with a caress and a sad, yearnful smile that said, "I've missed you.". That night I watched you wander and struggle to feel comfortable.  My heart sunk " I've grown old and she doesn't love me like she once did" I fretted.  I stared you down like a cheetah on the prowl, pushing my boundaries to please you.  Then, as the mass Exodus began to flow at the end, I saw it.  I saw you flow, igniting a flicker of ecstasy within you.  Puffed up with pride I watched some drunk walk right into you - RUDE!! I wished to run to your aid, to defend you.  But I was working.  I'd ruin the party if I did that!  So, I've watched you plant yourself firmly against the walls over time, your thorns prickly against the pressures of socialization, my sweet undulant rose.  Last night, as the Light of the full moon washed over us, you sat beside me.  I'd never had you so close!  I could smell your hair - lavender.  When the bass kicked I felt your strokes of pleasure.  I know you love me too.  I just need you to know that your love gives my station in life purpose and I will forever and always be yours.

Love, to the Moon and Back,
