To Achilles:
You hold my whole heart in your hands, as you are all I have ever known
I see no stars,
But instead your bright eyes
Sparkling in the night, the day, and all the times inbetween
I see no rivers,
But instead your flowing hair
The winds blows it up as you run
And you smile
(And everything seems good for a while)
I see no sun,
But instead you
The way you brighten up my whole being by simply looking at me
And spark a fire deep within me
(And I know that I was made for loving you)
You hold my whole heart in your hands, as it is all have to offer to you in return
Love, Patroclus
To Patroclus:
I may hold your heart, but you also hold mine
As you place your love into me, I must give you some in return
I must balance it out, lest I fear you will be loveless,
And I will be too loved, too praised
So I must give some to you
You gave me your heart, so I gave you mine in return, for you are all I know now
You believe you aren’t good enough, but you are so much more
You are good, in every sense of the word
You care for others with your whole being, with everything you have
You help others, you heal them of the things they thought they couldn't do
You are kind to everything you meet, you never let your fear rid you of that
You everything you have to offer to everyone else,
And hope they like it well enough
I may hold your heart, but also hold mine, as it is all I have to offer in return
Love, Achilles
