I have never known anything
with this much certainty.
Like tree roots
holding fast to the earth instinctively,
or planets bound to their axis,
never straying.
There is something in me
that’s constantly reaching for you
without asking for my permission.
Not because you are beautiful,
though you are.
Not because of what you could give me.
But because my soul
has grown strangely quiet
since finding yours.
I cannot explain it.
But this I can say:
Just as birds do not study the wind,
the sea does not negotiate
with the moon,
and a flower
cannot help
but turn toward the light,
they simply know.
So do I.
My affection
has outgrown my heart.
It spills from me
like a river
that has finally found
the sea
it was always flowing toward.
I wanna be yours.
And you have the power
to bring
my heart’s search
to an end.
❤️🫂
