I wish to have known you before I was woven into being.

 I search for you in my reflection, in my voice, and in my strength.

 I want to step wherever your feet have touched the ground 

and take up the spaces that you grace.

The places you’ve been, the things you’ve seen, your joy, and your pain become my own. 

Moments I’ve never lived and those I cannot recall have become familiar to me now; reimagined, overlapped, distorted and fractured. 

From birth to death, the stages of our lives will always exist somewhere, like a star that is lightyears away. 

with love forever
