It was just another day
I wanted it to be over
But then I saw you
We met
We talked
We joked
You hugged
And you left
Left and right—I looked
Up and down spinning around like a rubix cube
Struggling to put these pieces back in order
Collecting every bit of that memory of you like a hoarder
My mind began blowing up these thoughts of you as if helium was being pumped into my brain
“Beautiful”, “Caring”, “Compassionate”
I never felt like this before
This euphoria was going to come to an end
And then, my heart began to pound
So fast as if I ate an entire pack of edibles
Suddenly there was numbness everywhere
I couldn’t do anything but succumb to this feeling of despair
My heart pounded harder and harder and faster and faster and faster
As if something was trying to escape
—Sigh—
Being naively optimistic
“Will I experience that moment again?”
And the universe allowed another chance
It was a jubilant moment
You were incredibly sweet
It was the last time we would ever meet
You left. Again.
And then I felt this bubbling energy
As if a magnitude 7 earthquake had erupted inside of me
Permeating throughout my soul
Weaving through every single atom, element, and cell in my body
As if something was trying to escape
—Deep breath—
This isn’t a situation of life or death
It’s going to be okay
Those “thoughts”
Those “feelings”
They were never mine
Something that you and I could never intertwine
My heart started to pulsate like a thousand instruments
As I scream and call for you to come back
So I can be with you once more
And experience that ecstasy one last time
In that period of darkness I heard this bittersweet symphony
I had an epiphany
Not today
Not tomorrow
Maybe in another life
That moment was a wrinkle in time
It’s now inside of this giant blackhole
Those thoughts had evaporated
My soul was invigorated
As if something was trying to escape
Your love, humility, and compassion were the mallets beating on my heart
producing these powerful vibrations
And beautiful sounds
Reverberating over and over like a songbird
Yearning to be heard and anxious to escape out of this cage
The universe had finally listened
And this canary was set free
