You fell into my life and accepted my vigil with unselfishness. You allowed my voice within your walls and burned my memory into your heart. I looked upon you like the dreams a man has… of stumbling upon a hidden treasure… first noticing it and then allowing the mind to be consumed by it.
If a man keeps his treasure hidden away and put to no use, there is no wisdom in his lack of efforts and the increase will be none. If a man spends his treasures wisely and fills the baskets of his home with its bounty and interest, the rewards will always be with him.
I see you as that treasure that I fell upon and hovered over with excitement and envy. In some moments, I felt compelled to hide your value and keep this secret from all. My ultimate choice was to enjoy your worth and to invest your love in the things of value… the value that increased the stock houses of my heart and my mind.
Your love has slipped away from me, but I can be grateful that you released your riches upon me and enabled me to find the wealth that most of us search for throughout all of our journeys.
The consequences of our meeting will always be an ongoing attempt for me to retrace my steps in the hope of some day making that strike of riches one again, that you once gave to me so willingly.
