Lifetimes

I love you.

I loved you from the first word.
From the first connection.
From that first good vibe I got off of you,
across the divide.

And I cry for you.
The pain in your life.
The loss.
The cost of it all.

As you fall farther into the void,
I keep reaching for you.
I won’t let you go.

I need to know what the future holds,
and I need you, my kindred spirit,
to be there when it happens.

I love your soul.
I love the whole entirety of your universe…
because it envelopes mine—
stars intertwined.

We connected for a reason…
fate.

We’ve been here before
and we’ll be here again.

I don’t know when.

My love grows.
Despite distance.
Even where it isn’t being cultivated…
because it’s deeper than the superficial flesh.

It’s otherworldly.

Unconditional.

It’s a love so true
that it encompasses you
like a protective shield…

I would fight for you.
That’s what friends are for.

I would comfort you.
Let you cry on my shoulder.

And as we grow older,
our bond will not break.

This love is not fake.

It’s extraterrestrial,
but grounded in roots.

A strong connection
built to withstand lifetimes
and the apocalypse.

If my heart burst today,
its blood red confetti
would shower down on you…

because a piece of my heart
will always be yours.

In darkness
and in light.
