The Dawn Chorus…

It was in one of my darkest hours — and you know how many of these I have seen before — where I was full of hope yet on the edge of breaking, that you found me, and you caught me mid-fall. You made me realize I wasn’t falling at all.

It was like I had woken up from a bad dream; all the fears had gone when I opened my eyes and saw you, a familiar stranger. And so I looked at you, I stared at & through you, only to realize that I knew you. I had always known you.

You were those echoes in the back of my heart,
Those murmurs saying “it’s gonna be alright”,
Whispering, “you’re gonna be okay”,
Between each sigh of my heaving heart;
You were always there with me, but you were lost too.

And then we woke up, and we found each other.

You found me, and we’ve been walking through the storms together ever since.

Nothing makes sense, but you give meaning to everything, even nothingness; you shine light on everything, even the darkness.

This has been the best year out of my 23 years, even though it has been so hard and crushing. I am beyond thankful for having been blessed with 365 eternities with the missing piece of my soul. I’m not alone anymore and my fire is burning beyond words and worlds.

This is only the beginning, I’m looking forward to so many more moments with you Billy <3
