There’s a lot of ideas
that my brain has yet to
process and explore,
but I can’t help thinking
about how we met
and how knowing you
has completely altered
my life together.

The satin pull from two
sides of the country
to one valley where we
would both be looking
for each other.

Did my heart know
when I chose to live here
that it would be seeking for you?

This whole time, my
mind was under the assumption
that I was searching for
myself. The being and soul
inside of me that had
been locked away.

And yet, while my mind was
looking for me, was my heart
looking for you?
The gentle weaving of
each moment to
bring us to this one.
A connection and destiny
that will stretch and grow
and bend as we explore
the pulls of life.
It’s like the moon pulling the tide,
a ribbon attached
to my heart.
