"And if I don't make it, know that I loved you all along" - Our Lady Peace

Angels, all of you.
This, I believe in earnest.
When I set foot in the room, I see your smiles and kind eyes,
but am overwhelmed by the air from the beating of your wings.
The breeze is refreshing, something I have yet to experience,
and something I never thought would be experienced during my earthly time.
But, angels do walk amongst us, and I have recently encountered several.
Came into my life with the most perfect of timing, you have,
at my time of deepest despair, need, want, and desire.
I thirsted for something real, something pure, something beautiful,
and my prayers were answered in you.
Your kindness, acceptance, and warmth are serving as my salvation,
helping hands along this long, hard road out of this hell.
So open are your arms, while most hold themselves and themselves alone
with a vice-like grip.

This is my gratitude in the best way I can express it.
I live tight-mouthed and incapable of formulating the words,
unable to utter it,
but the words flow freely,
pouring from my fingertips like water from a broken dam,
pent up and wanting so badly to be made manifest.

I humbly thank you, and hope that this is merely the beginning.
