The Box

by Sean Ash   Jun 12, 2011


I live in a box. Inside this box there is great happiness, love and joy. I look outside of my box to see the world and all the people. A state of melancholy only exists within this box when you are not inside this box with me. If I needed you, then it would be because I am forced to undertake survival instincts, and so ultimately, I would force you into this box with me; do whatever necessary, even if it were against your wishes. This would then eradicate the loving purpose of sharing my box and all the good things inside of my box with you. Therefore, I do not wish to force you inside of my box, but I do want you to share this box with me. I want it to be our box, so that it is no longer mine alone. I want to share every bit of love, joy and happiness that I have and I want you to experience this world inside of the box, with me. I want you, by your own will, to step inside of this box because it's where you want to be and not because it is where I would like you to be. I can see you in a world outside of the box and I know that many things trouble you. I want you to know that inside of this box, you will be safe and secured; you will be loved and honoured. Whoever steps inside of my box will unconditionally have this. I have never needed you like a child needs their parent or as life needs the sun, but I have longed for your will to move according to your heart and consciousness. As long as I have known you, I have always wished for you to be inside of this box with me and that is why I would do anything for you. The only sadness that I have is due to you not knowing the full extent of the love that I have for you. If only you knew, then I doubt that you would be settling for any less right now as you would realise that all bliss remains inside of my box. Time is only a man made measurement of beginning and end. It can take less than a second for one to fall in-love with another. The feeling can come about faster than the speed of light. It is all it took for my mother to love me, and for me to love my children. It is all that it took for me to love you the same way. I know you were meant for me and I know that you are scared, but I want you to know that the sooner you come into this box with me, the sooner you may realise that all of these fears were entirely false and misleading. I do not intend to chain you inside of this box, and I will never chase you or disturb you. Inside this box is where I shall wait. I hope one day that you come inside.

    The style sounds familiar, not sure.

    It's moving, I like it.
