angels

it happens like this

one day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason

you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else

closer to them than your closest family.

perhaps this person carries within them an angel

one sent to you for some higher purpose;

to teach you an important lesson

or to keep you safe during perilous time.

what you must do is trust them

even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering

the reason for their presence will become clear in due time

though here is a word of warning

you may grow to love this person

but remember they are not yours to keep

their purpose isn't to save you

but to show you how to save yourself

and once this is fulfilled

the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life

they will be a stranger to you once more

it is so dark right now

i can't see any light around me

that's because the light is coming from you

you can't see it but everyone else can
