I belong.
To a time before conscience.
Before existence,
I belong.
To the story that was never told.
Now I belong to you.
You need to look at me…
I’m here
You haven’t noticed me.
I’m your shame and glory
I’m your destiny…
I can feel you moving around me
We are breathing the same air at this very same time.
I know that sometimes I bring despair.
Still you want me.
Even when I’m ugly
You wait for me.
Even when I’m late.
For the simple hope that I will bring you joy.
I was always at the side of your shadowed face
I’m all the different ways you can choose, but
I’m the only way that is going to happen.
I’m absolute incomprehension, but
I don’t need to be understood.
Just felt.
I’m the one that passes by you every day and you never notice.
I’m the only one.
I’m many more.
You ask for me.
I’m here now.
