Week 38

I worry that you are going to leave my life
Yet I hear you sleeping beside me,
Breathing in the way that is yours
And yours alone.

I want you around forever, you know,
But this sensation is the strangest feeling.
It's like my body always knew you
Yet rediscovering you makes it feel
Unfamiliar but not different,
Like building the same jigsaw over
And over again.
The pieces fitting unexpectedly,
a piece of sky there,
the glimpse of a kiss there,
but the picture isn't complete.
And I want to know
So badly
That all the pieces will find themselves in the end.

You caution me
that everything is in the journey.
I close my eyes and trust you,
blindly let the puzzle pieces
fall into place.
