Galaxy of Love

If I don't fight for you, who will I fight for?

If I don't fight for you, who will I fight for? You were imprinted on my being even before I was a person here. Everything made sense because it made me feel that authenticity when the soul vibrates. Just one more life, maybe... but this unique feeling is not limited to one life; it is a feeling of existence. It traverses time, space, and any dimension; it is a feeling that is not limited to what can be explained but mainly to what cannot be explained and yet makes so much sense.

Giving up on you would be giving up on myself, literally. Love should not be an object of analysis; however, I could not even imagine what true love would be before you. I spent so much time trying to discover this emotion in me that I was unaware of but knew existed. I imagined and dreamed so much about what it would be like, and it could not have been further from reality. Perhaps because romanticism shaped my dreams, but the truth was so much grander than any romantic tale I could choose to embody a character in. I discovered with you that true love, more than making you fly and feel butterflies in your stomach, reflects the truth.

True love is not romantic but courageous; it leads you to confront the shadow in search of light. True love makes you understand that everything is about you and that everything has always been within you. The pursuit of who we aspire to be is always our own. Discovering that you are a reflection of myself and seeing you as I always saw you helped me see the being that I never wanted to see before, myself. As the good human being that I also am, I looked at the shadow, the flaw, and what needed to be healed, and that scared me so much.

Thinking that I wasn't good enough was something I had always thought, but seeing that there was so much shadow in me was never something I had imagined. I ended up understanding that I was doubly wrong, that I was good enough, and that the shadow was something that did not belong to me but that I carried within me from so many existences, that baggage that we have talked about so many times. I know how much it hurts, I know how scary it can be sometimes, I know the fight between the heart and the ego, and I know how everything seems magical one moment and a nightmare the next. I know everything, and that's why I never gave up. I came prepared, although I didn't even know what I was coming for. I came at least with that courage in me not to give up.

I know it's not always magic, but I also know that magic is always there, waiting for the fear to pass so that I can see it. Time passes, dreams tremble, and nothing seems to make sense sometimes. But yes, we are eternal, just like this love that unites us. I am here; I have always been here. On the inside, even when you didn't know where to find me, I was there. My hand always intertwines with yours; no matter the conditions, nothing matters here because neither you nor I belong here. And you know what? Like this... so much... since before the first star in a galaxy of love.
