You Remind Me
Your Remind Me (of water)
You remind me of water
Maybe because you told me you like to swim
But I think it's more than that.
Sometimes I look into your depth
Only to frown at my own reflection
Frustrated because I wanted to see deeper
Sometimes I look into your depth
Embracing this fascination
Of getting just below the surface
To your safety nets.
You remind me of the moon
Maybe because you told me you like to keep your distance
But I think it's more than that.
Sometimes I look for you in the night sky
Only to wonder why the evening is so cloudy
Irrational because I wanted to see the universe.
Sometimes I look for you in the night sky
Losing myself in the stars
The planets and the distance of your energy.
You remind me of the sun
Maybe because you told me you like the outdoors
But I think it's more than that.
Sometimes it's so bright
I cannot look directly into the glare
Bothered because I can feel the heat but I cannot touch it.
Sometimes it's so bright it lights up the parts of me
That are trying to belong to you.

What a poetic interpretation of entanglement. Beautiful!
Simply beautiful. My heart resonates with a familiar ache. You have a gift, thank you for sharing it.
This was masterfully written. I loved how I was able to understand and even relate to what you were writing, even though the piece was so poetically ambiguous.
