To love someone...
To love someone so much, to the point you change yourself for their sake.
It could be the normal, improving yourself, making yourself just that little bit better, someone they can be proud of, giving to charity more often, having better manners, saving more time for your partner.
But this is inspector me's late night thinking so as nice as that is, no.
To love someone so much that you change yourself...you change your very essence, if you could you'd turn yourself into an energy so they themselves could continue to be...them.
You'd change yourself into something thats no longer human, a tool, a monster, a shadow.
You dont want anything other than for them to thrive, you love them so much.
When i think of this all i imagine is the humble shadow. You'd changed into mere wisps, you swirl and sway around your lover, constantly in contact with their skin. No one expects you to be there but you don't care, as long as you are there...for them
You move quickly around them, you protect them from harm, turning into a weapon at their whim.
You move slowly around them, so soft, so slow. giving a cold comfort, covering their body entirely in yourself, your new form as a shadow allowing you to engulf them in a way you wish you could have done before.
All humans are unions if you really think about it.
You guys ever seen anime/mangas/novels where some people got cursed not to tell anyone or else they died or something, and they still did it?
Why did no one ever came up with a riddle or better yet, a simple question? You're not telling them, you're asking them. There's a difference and one of them is that you get to live and tell.
