To have... To lose...
4:34:00 PMBewildered is the word. But is it even the word?
Is there a word for this?
For something that feels like it's both tearing me apart
and wrapping me so tightly in its arms that nothing could ever divide me?
I feel like I'm caught in the waves of an ocean storm,
Tossed back and forth by unforgiving waves.
Overwhelmed by forces beyond my own strength.
And laughing with the wind.
Blissfully wrapping myself in the roiling waters,
Finding a peace I didn't know existed.
I'm caught in you.
Split on the edges of a hundred paradoxes.
Bound together by a strength I didn't know I could have.
I am so lost.
Tumbling through the water,
Closing my eyes to feel the waves break on my skin.
Opening them to a world I don't know.
And feeling like I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.
I feel full.
Bursting.
Barely holding it together.
Overflowing with everything you've ever given me.
I am Generosity.
But I am hungry.
Starving.
Craving more of you
Every day that I don't have you.
I am Greed.
For the first time, I'm afraid of dying.
Sure, I've been afraid of pain and loss.
But Life was a long day.
And Death was a sunset.
And yet...
To have even lived this long.
To just experience this.
To experience you.
To love you.
To be loved by you.
How could I complain about losing all of this?
When it means that I had you to lose?
I am yours.
To have. To lose.
