ever since you, i have learned to appreciate all the littlest, minutest things that inspire and affect life, one way or another. i suppose i learned to embrace details that seem to hold no significance because they are all that i could ever put my hands on. the larger truths…like the cosmos, the span of an era….or you…can only longed and hoped for.
because of you, words like ‘fingertips,’ ‘inch,’ and ’seconds’ have become more important than any other word i know. and it also is because of you that my heart is full. and sometimes when we have our ‘pseudo-arguments,’ that same heart cannot breathe, is suffocated, is drenched in nothingness. how can you do that? how can it be? that the person who heals my would be the one person who dismantles me, with her hands, with her words, with her thoughts.
because of you, i know what it is like to drink the light, succumb to the energy coming from your eyes. because of you i know there is more to the word ‘loneliness’ other than the glaring, gnawing pain that feed on my soul every time we are not together. because of you, i believed in love…another time. because of you, i started believing in dreams that i thought have died a long time ago. because of you, i sometimes do not want to exist, for i know that i never would understand how it is to be without you.
because of you, winter never seem to occur. because of you, i do not want anything but to hasten the spring. watch your hands nurture the amaranth. and feel the water that drops from your kisses touch the petals of the flower not to be imagined by anyone but you. because of you i am able to put meaning to my words, fasten each to my heart…because i know, finally, what it is like to feel.
