I found it

by Lena   Jul 29, 2021


Do you think the moon gets lonely?

This was a question I thought I would never be able to ask anyone, for fear they would think I was silly.

Of course that is until I met you.

I still remember your reply, how you smiled at me, then said

“Maybe but I like to think the stars keep it company.”

You always had thoughts that were comforting to me.

I tried so hard to be more like you but most days I wasn’t

I know if you were here you’d tell me I was enough

That I was made up of beautiful things and that one day you know I will see it

You’d say that I will look back and be grateful for even the things that are killing me right now.

I know I shouldn’t of made my home out of your bones but I felt safe there.

You allowed me to break but you never once told me I was broken

You reassured me that I was whole, that I had always been that way and no matter what happens I always will be.

You didn’t put me on a pedestal. You stood at my side and when I was down you knelt to my level and you held me up when I couldn’t bare to stand.

You weren’t a crutch though, you were a hand to hold and you didn’t pull away when it got difficult.

All my life I wanted to find you and even if I have to lose you, I hope you know I’d do it all again

Thank you for teaching me things I thought I knew only to realize I had no idea.

Thank you for allowing me to experience what I had only heard stories about

When I met you I didn’t believe that true love exist

Thank you for proving me wrong

Thank you for showing me the facts by your actions

Thank you for making me know that life could actually feel like fiction

I still don’t even understand how you’re real

Even with your every flaw, I only loved you more for it

Thank you for letting me see pass your wall and thank you for waiting patiently for mine to come down

I know they say nothing last forever but I don’t believe that anymore

My love will last forever

My gratitude will last forever

I am so thankful I stuck around

This was the day I was always waiting for.

    Immediately, I love that question of if the moon is lonely. That's kind of a heartbreaking question, but maybe we want to find solace in nature, or maybe we realize that loneliness can transcend humans, that it can be felt in nature's core. And the comfort in being reminded of the stars.

    The idea that we're not broken, our heart might break and we may bend at the whim of all that the world tries to throw at us, but that doesn't mean we're broken. I love that. There's power in that.

    "I know I shouldn’t of made my home out of your bones but I felt safe there."

    - Such a beautiful line. It made me think of the terror and panic that can come in first trusting someone, then realizing they are truly there for you, and it's not a false foundation, not something that will aim to shake or break you.

    This was an incredibly intimate, especially in the sense of someone being patient with you while you learn to be gentle with yourself, while you weather your own storm. It's interesting that you wrote about this person not being the crutch, I liked that, a reminder that they were support and could also level with you. (oh one thing, "pedastool" should be "pedestal")

    Happy you have found a true and lasting love; this held such depth and I thank you for sharing this write!
