Analysis of Love Meant to Be

HMRyan 1977 (New York)



If ever two were meant,
It would be us.
If ever two loved so much,
It would be us.

As a flower withers because of lack of sunlight,
Sure enough,
My heart would do the same without you.
The day you walked into my life was the day my dreams came true.

The softness of your lips on mine,
The sparkling glow in your eyes,
The tender touch of our skin on skin,
The heavens above praise within.

My love increases daily
Never does it reach the lowest valley

Throughout my lifetime, I have been diagnosed with bipolar I, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. However, no one is actually convinced or definite on any one diagnosis. Nevertheless, I seriously do not need any diagnosis to know who I am. I am Heather M Ryan, and I am beautifully crazy in my own chaotic way; I almost always have a method to my madness. These are my feelings, my opinions, and my own personal thoughts. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but my life hasn't always been that way. I have been at most ends of the spectrum… rich and miserable, poor and madly in love, desperate, depressed, and homeless. Like my brain, I still have yet to find a happy medium in life. The last 45 years have left me in tears, shaking with fear and panic, running from a painful reality and past, the streets in the pouring down rain, homeless praying God would answer my prayers and send help, naked under the stars and in complete awe at how God works miracles just when you think all is lost. God has brought me from the deepest darkest depths of hell into the sunlight and has showered me with love and mercy time and time again. I look forward to enjoying this final chapter of my life with you and anyone else that would like to join us.
