Yours and mine
Shattered and sharp. They're not shiny. We don't like to attract the attention. We paint them black matching the shadows with "I'm okay and it's okay's." We just throw it all in the top drawer.
They seem to always cause a pain in the heart with every uncontrollable heavy sigh
from holding onto too much.
Or carrying too much.
Do we make it more difficult than needed on ourselves? Tell me I am not so sure.
Praying for light. And a lightness.
Feelings of blind and feelings of heavy.
Despite those feelings of broken pieces.
somehow the fact of two souls vulnerably bringing them out of the shadows, brought a sense of wholeness.
Even just for that moment.
Perhaps the greater goal of it all is to just seek after those moments as often as we get to.
You and I though. We need to stop thinking we need to do more. Be there more. Say more. Know more. you're enough. you're enough. you're enough. I love you still as we keep repeating it back to each other.
"You're always going to be okay bud."
I'll strive to keep telling you that because I'd like the feeling of sitting by your side until they are.
Haven't we always done that anyways?
