musing_way -- Week 39 : Sweetheart

Sweetheart is not a strong enough term to use to describe Damon and his place in my life. There's a connection that I have with him that is unlike anything I have ever had with anyone before.

I know that there have been doubts about my feelings and my devotion to Damon based on the fact that I was with Stefan first. I don't deny that and I don't deny that I did love Stefan. I still care about him, but now that emotion is that of a brother or of a close friend.

No, the one that I'm in love with and will always be until I breathe my last is indeed Damon. It's love and passion and something that I don't have the name for all rolled up into one. When he is hurting, I want to hurt whatever or whomever has caused him pain. When he's happy, I'm happy for him.

Damon always tells me things straight out. Oh, I'm sure that there are times he lies, because he's been used to doing that for so long. He doesn't lie to me nearly as much as he once did. No, he will tell me things no matter how much he thinks they might hurt because he wants me to know what's going on. He doesn't believe that keeping me in the dark about things keeps me safer.

That, and he will always be there to help me get through the bad times. No matter how much something may hurt or how close something may come to breaking me down, Damon will always be there, loving me and showing me that I'm not alone.

I won't let him be alone any longer, either. I love him.

Is he my sweetheart? Yes.

Is he also so much more? Yes.
