Throwback Thursday

Hey.

 

The thing is,

I cannot find the words

to articulate the points of differences

between love and infatuation.

 

I just know.

 

I know I am not infatuated with you -

how can I be infatuated with someone I haven't even seen?

But,

what I have for you had surpassed the space between us.

 

It's like we are standing opposite to each other,

directly parallel,

with this gulf, this vast gulf between us.

Dividing us.

 

What I have for you

is not a bridge that connects these two lands,

nor a boat to deliver me

to that other land

 

but an element,

an essential element

in order for that bridge to be constructed

and that boat to be built.
