let it go, let it be

maybe when i die/i get to be a car
driving in the night/lighting up the dark

ever feel like you just learned a world's worth of experience in a small timespan?

i know i'm not alone in feeling this. i mean, i know you feel it too -- but what about everyone else? i want to hope that all of you arrive here at some point - with all the pain, beauty, realization, knowledge, consciousness that i've found each moment to be full of.

every second of your life holds so much weight, so much knowledge to impart, so much LIFE. and the roots of life itself, in the truest sense of the word.

are you living your life fully? reaching out, touching, feeling, experiencing, loving, uplifting, expanding, being everything there is? and if not, what would your life look like, if you were? can you give yourself permission to grow in all directions, even if only just for this second?

they say love is the soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another - and i want you to know that i see you the way i've always seen you. a vast ocean resides behind your eyes; and i've been struggling to keep my head above water since you first opened those oscillating orbs - or, at least since the oscular storm of two weeks past when you pelted soft tongue throaty words that hung in my mouth like sunset, caught between my teeth until morning. it's hard to not want to just dive in, without caring if i drown or drift to safety.

but i'll tread water, here. maybe i'll even jump out for awhile. perhaps i need to dry off, because i've been wet since i met you, and while not necessarily a bad thing, it prevents me from thinking clearly.

so, i'll just say i'll see you when i see you. and i'll always see you the way i always do, because you're the brightest light i know; i still see you with my eyes closed.
