For You
Whatever comes beyond this point today, I leave it in the queue. For you, I stay where I am. I do not move my feet forward. I do not turn my head back. I do not lift my hands to pick up, or put down. I do not consume in pleasure, ask for more, seek what I don’t have, or wash my imperfections away. I leave that all on the back burner; I put you at the forefront of my teary, empathetic eyes. I focus my heart on you, for you.
With You
Every word I write looks back at me with desperation, telling me to do better with them. But my words can’t express how much my heart reaches for you in this moment. My heart wishes it could hurt for the both of us, instead of just me. But you have your heart too. So I sit with you. And just like countless others who I imagine feel the same way for you, I’ll try not to worry about the right thing to say. I will let the words dissolve, and I will feel with you. I will just be, with you.
Wherever You Are
If you are ever sad, remember where you are. You are here. Not for better or for worse. Not for any bigger reason. It doesn’t have to be meant to be. It doesn’t have to be a coincidence, or by chance, or by fate, or by logic, or by luck as to why you are here. You are just here. And even if you don’t like where you are, fear not. That’s not either here nor there. Because those who love you, and those who loved you, will always be with you, for you, with you, wherever you are.
