Unbreakable heart

This is for the ones that crave love.

We asked for love, and we got it:  

the raw sensation of being seen,  

the spiraling feeling of devotion,  

the unwavering sensation of being.  

Being within. Being one.  

Not only to share, but to feel, 

the one that shaken your old beliefs,  

the one that exposed your flaws with peace,  

the one that breaks your heart but also heals.  

We ask for love, and we got it.  

But what’s love if happiness isn’t here?  

The tension, the longing, and everything in between,  

the expectations, the pain that came within  

what’s love if we get lost? Is it really reel?  

We felt, we loved, we broke; 

the universe witnessed it, we saw it all 

The stars aligned, and we followed their lead,  

exposing ourselves to unwanted fears.  

Slowly, we got closer and made this love petite,  

closer to the doubts and insecurities.  

Exposing our love to unwanted fears:  

unwelcome eyes, lost and a lot of greed, 

fear that cannot coexist in this timeless dimension  

where we danced intertwined in this cosmic divine.

Giving space and matter to what is not here,  

pushing against each other to test the resistance,  

abandoning our hearts, unbreakable knots.  

Guess we were right? Everything happened to us.  

This "us" that wasn’t here long before  

matters as if nothing else is there anymore.  

Within, it left a mark, one that only time can spark.  

But time is an illusion, and it won’t really fade.  

We will let ourselves forget, forget to only remember:  remember what it was?  

Remember what it could have been?  

Vanishing as smoke that we blow away,  

as a precious shooting star loosing her light.  

Thank you for the love that we got to live,  

to the stars that led our hearts to meet,

to the moon that strengthened our infinite tie 

unbreakable in space where boom, 

present, past, and future isn’t a straight line.
