Loving my story –
Messy, contradictory
Full of deep dive love.
After every painful accounting I come back to the same conclusion;
I wouldn’t change a thing I love,
And since love is a connector,
I’d keep it all;
I might not be here experiencing you –
Or here to feel you experience me;
I might not learn those hardcore lessons –
I might not be able to say hey
I’ve been to hell and back;
I might not know my strength,
Or yours.
I might not have such rich happy memories,
Interestingness,
Knowledge,
Experience
I might not have those dreams –
That life squeezed out of my soul –
I might not be who I am,
Or who I can be –
If it wasn’t for a story that won’t die,
that begs me to tell it, tremblingly, ecstatically,
If it wasn’t for my own love story.
If it wasn’t for all that I might not be here,
On my phone,
Sending my love story
Into the ethers,
Imagining you receiving it –
Imagining you telling me yours.
The stories that got us here.
