and suddenly, the dark clouded skies cleared up and the color slowly started to fade back into picture. there was sudden shift in the paradigm in my heart and in my mind. there was suddenly reason to love and to laugh again, for you had shaped my mind in ways i couldn't describe. suddenly, i had reason to write again. the words could easily flow back onto the pages just as easy as they had been before the storm came and wrecked me. you were the shift in my mind and in my heart. you changed me but as for now, i can't decide if it's for the better or the worse.
