I have let go of you a million times, across a million lifetimes.
I have gone through silent wars, doubts and
I have found you then lost you then found you again.
Kept you trapped in the chambers of my heart, then threw you out, then begged you to come back in again.
Endured the darkness of your thoughts and choices and hid myself countless times under the remains of yesterday’s day.
Broke myself by watching how you took my love and poured it into other loves. Resented your pride because it reminded me of my own.
Climbed the stillness and vastness of the cosmos looking for you;
And found you, under so many names, and different bodies, but always carrying the same essence.
I opened my eyes to you and I understood why my life looked like it did.
I found you and I understood all the thousands of crossed paths and all the “whys”.
And now everything I have loved, in nature, in people, has finally received a name.
