Life
I wonder if you remember me. I've been present in every instance of your life. I was with you when you took your first breath; your eyes bright, your life spread out before you. I delight in you. I love seeing your face, hearing your voice, watching you grow. I know every little thing about you. What takes your breath away, what makes you angry, what you're really afraid of and how many times you've given up only to begin again. There is no mystery in you that I cannot solve. You have a knack for going from one thing to the next, waiting for your life to start. You want desperately to truly live and you seek so much of who you are in places where you'll never find it. Those places leave you with a dismal contentment that comes and goes with the setting of the sun. I've cried with you in the darkest moments of your life, sat with you when you felt like you couldn't bear to take another step, when you thought you'd come to the end of you...
