A promise to be held...

To you, I give me. In all, in whole, in truth. I am the most precious piece of infinity and humanity I could ever hold. A treasure that took cosmic collision and happenstance to come about. Two souls had to merge for me to emerge. Even in that rare event, I had to evade death and demolition upon my daily wake. I had to meet myself and the demons that followed. With a handshake and a kiss, I heard their stories. I felt why they chose me. I released them from their posts and accepted the reason behind their occupancy. I transmuted my ego so that I don’t become entranced by my reflection. I was left with the knowing that I cannot witness all of me. Not the way you do. I cannot transcend capacity without giving myself away. The way a bird leaves with a song, I shall leave my loves behind. Knowing they’ll all come back to me, it is in this moment that I know what it is to be free. I love you without justification. But if you would humor me with the rest of your time, I’ll show you the reasons that fall short of the sentiment till my last breath. In you, I find a reason to dream of an eternity and a soul worth dying for. In you, I see me. In your joy, I remember why a heart beats. In your sorrow, I remember why one mustn’t walk this life alone. In your weakness, I will kiss the aches. In your triumphs, I will witness you with adoration and peace in my heart. May my voice be the song that fills your symphony. May my touch be the salve you wear every moment. May my gaze always fall upon you and bring your soul to surface. May we weather storms like drunken sailors, evading certain doom with in a childish stupor. May time consume us both at once. Even in death, the closure of life hesitates to allow us one more moment. A look, a kiss, a hand held, a flutter of light. May lies and projections land just short of our doorstep. Only we write the ending we wish. If I give you me, I wish for you to meet me in your totality. If you sense otherwise, may the next lifetime show you the same grace when you’re ready. If you receive me, never forget the gaze that falls upon you has been within you before your soul knew your form. Before your journey embodied form, I knew you, and you knew me. Timeless in the absolute. Certain in the delicate. Truth in the abnormality of it all. I give me to you because you were and always will be mine.
