I Don’t Have Answers

You’re beautiful in all the ways I wish I couldn’t see.
In all the ways that makes life harder
Obvious and invisible.

I see you as a challenge, not one to be conquered
One to be understood
A mystery that I’ll never solve fully
But will continue to unravel until I stop living

We spread through each other’s lives.
We are elemental.
But we blink in and out of existence.
Time breaks apart at this scale.

You’ve distorted the constants
Where understanding blurs into abstractions
A line, unending.
An idea, redefining.

We are holding on to smoke.
And we won’t let go.
