For whoever needs to hear it, and probably, for most, it’s for my own.

I wish I could take away all of your worries and place them in a glint of the brightest star, solely to remind you that your worst days will eventually lead you to your best days. I don’t know where I’ll gonna be in ten years from now, even a month away from now, but I can only pray that it’s somewhere calm, somewhere gentle, somewhere peaceful.

I wish I could take away all of the nights that you cried alone and stuff them into a hidden box on your memories slot, let the message sink with the sea of time, maybe some lost traveler will find it and write stories about you, maybe in another life, you’ll find that same box and add something delighted to it.

I think we feel alone because emotions are so personal, sometimes even if we explained everything, we’d probably still feel misunderstood. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, and the world doesn’t always spin slower or faster, sometimes it’s all the same and that’s never really a bad thing.

It’s going to be alright. That much I know.

And in a face full of faith, sometimes I feel like I’ve lost my way, but somehow you always remind me as to which way I should be going. A handful of hope seized from books and art stores — we can only pray that love sleeps well in your heart. A soul full of aches, to know yourself, an idea that’s always close, close enough for you to hold onto, close enough for you to breathe in, and close enough for you to become. We exist as two separate beings, but we’ve always loved in togetherness — to be fair, was there ever a difference? some parts of the story will remain untold, lost with the undeniable passing of time. Don’t worry, it’s only a moment. we are only apart for the slightest of moments.
