what a marvelous thing it is, to be loved
enveloped in safety
to know that you are closely cherished
two souls, spiraling around each other in holy friendship
a sisterhood with one not blood
but kindred in spirit
the emerald to a ruby
the sunlight to a leaf
the pebble to a river
raising each other’s mountains
a circle of trust
and deep affection
“shall we grow old together?”
“we shall.”

Porque entender el amor es así, debes soltar, debes dejar en libertad.
Claro, nadie te enseña como hacer eso. Ahora, me toca soltar a la persona que más he amado por mi propia culpa. Cometí errores sin antes comenzar la relación. Fui desleal. Fallé. Y me arrepiento. También entendí que, ser honestos y transparentes no funcionó. Pero entonces, ¿Que hice mal? ¿Acaso ella prefería una mentira? Yo no le mentí. Fui honesta. Entonces he entendido que también decir la verdad está mal.

spring is coming. Spring IS COMING. You will stand on soft grass again, and feel the sun kiss your cheeks and shoulders. you will eat of the same berries as the animals returned from their hibernation. you will hear the air alive with your collective breathing.
