Of all the ways a heart can ache you are my favorite oneit's not that yours is better nor worse than any otherheart or mind or body or life experiencebut it's the consequences of your longings,belongings, unbelongings,the way that it comes into wordsnot the words themselves so much as
the feeling behind the wordsthe thoughts that emerged those words to surfacelike seeing the entire journeyreflected in your eyesas you arrive at your conclusion
it's time to pay you backto tell you that I'll remember you for your willingness to dieand for refusing to close your eyes
