She Saved My Life And She Doesn't Even Know It

  She saved my life and doesn't even know it. My life was out of control and headed down the road to no where, a life without want or boundaries. Nothing I do or say could ever express just how much joy and love she has brought into my world. It is through her acceptance of my inner most demons and faults, that I rediscovered the path I was born to walk.

 This is the best description of my relationship with Maria Elena, the woman who I freely admit, has peeled back the hard shell and mask, I had long ago created in order to shield myself from the real world and the pain it tends to inflict upon the weak and the undeserving. But now, even as I expose my inner most thoughts, I know this woman has made me stronger than I could ever be alone, helped me become the man I was destined to be.

Before I met Elena, I was a long downward spiral to no where. I had no worries, no care in the world. But I somehow still felt something missing. My days were filled with easy money and my nights were filled with hard partying and fly by relationships, all the while I still felt something missing and despite of all of my drunken contemplation, I couldn't figure out what it was. That was until she walked into my universe.

Now many years later, I still thank God and the Fates for their pity on me, which led to my encounter with the woman who would impede and prevent my inevitable self-destruction. So it is with these words that attempt to share my undying love for a woman, who will never know just how she save my life and allowed me rediscover the person I always was.
