You are going to find them—the person who understands just what it means to be in love with the softness you hold between your palms. You are going to find them—the person who comprehends the brevity of a soul that aches with hope and overflows with the feeling to a point of destruction sometimes. You are going to find them, and they will understand when you are anxious, or overwhelmed, or when you just need to fold into the corners of your heart for a few hours.
They will understand that the past broke you, and built you, and left you to navigate the mess of what it means to be a human that has loved and lost and trusted with every inch of their being. They will understand. On your good days and on your bad days. On the days when you are a shining example of everything you want to be and on the days when you shrink into your healing. I promise you—they will come along, and you will know because your bones will ache with knowing. You will know because your heart will recognize itself in the heart of someone else.
You will know, because for once, you won’t be afraid.
Everything will be calm, and something deep within you will soften, something deep within you will say, “it is time.”
