#true words

If the universe gathered every ocean,

every sky,

every star,

it would still fall short of what I feel for You.

Tell me, how long must I wait?

I would find my way back to you through a thousand lifetimes, carrying the same heart, hoping yours remembers mine.

Tell me, what words could ever hold what you are to me?

There are truths so large that words break beneath their weight.

You are one of them.

And how do I prove my love?

Not with promises.

Not with just words.

But in the way your absence changes the shape of a day, in the way every beautiful thing quietly reminds me of you, and in the way my heart reaches for you before it reaches for itself.

Somewhere along the way, the distance between who I am and who I love disappears.

My heart no longer asks where it belongs.

It already knows.
