Dear you,
β¨Whoever you are,
β¨However you got here
β¨This is exactly where you are supposed to be.
β¨This moment has waited its whole life for you.
β¨This moment is your lover and you are a soldier,
β¨Come home baby, itβs over
β¨You donβt need to suffer any more.
Dear you,
β¨This moment is a surprise party,
β¨You are both hiding in the dark and walking through the door,
β¨This moment is a hallelujah.
β¨This moment is your permission slip
β¨To finally open that love letter
β¨Youβve been hiding from yourself,
β¨The one you wrote when you were little,
β¨When you still danced like a sparkler at dusk,
β¨Do you remember the moment you realised
β¨They were watching?
β¨When you became ashamed
β¨Of how much light you were holding?
β¨When you first learned how to un-love yourself?
Dear you,
β¨The word βtodayβ means βamenβ in every language.
β¨Today we made it,
β¨Today Iβm gonna love you,
β¨Today the box cutter will rust in the garbage,
β¨Today the noose will forget how to hold you,
β¨Today-
β¨Today-
Dear you - and I have always meant you,
β¨Nothing would be the same if you did not exist.
β¨You, who were once as small as a bouquet,
β¨Who could sleep in the laps of strangers,
β¨Nothing would be the same if you did not exist.
β¨You, whose voice is someoneβs favourite voice,
β¨Someoneβs favourite face to wake up to,
β¨Nothing would be the same if you did not exist.
You, the teacher, the starterβs gun,
β¨The lantern in the night who offers not a way home
β¨But the courage to travel farther into the dark.
β¨You, the lover who worships the taste of her body,
β¨Who is the largest tree ring in his heart,
β¨Who does not let fear ration your love.
You, the friend,
β¨The sacred chorus of βhow can I help?β.
β¨You, who have felt more numb than holy,
β¨More cracked than mosaic,
β¨Who has known the tiles of a bathroom by heart,
β¨Who has forgotten what makes you worth it.
β¨You, the forgiven,
β¨The forgiver,
β¨Who belongs right here in this moment.
You, this clump of cells,
β¨This happy explosion that happened to start breathing.
β¨By the grace of whatever is up there,
β¨You got here,
β¨You made it this whole way.
β¨Through the nights that swallowed you whole,
β¨The mornings that arrived in pieces.
β¨The scabs,
β¨The gravel,
β¨The doubt,
β¨The hurt-
β¨The hurt-
β¨The hurt is over,
β¨Today you made it-
β¨You made it-
β¨You made it
β¨Here.
