You are

Like a book
That was unwritten

Or a story
My mother would repeat

Like a tropical island
Isolated and pristine

Like a treasure
The pirates have hidden

Like life
Thriving when it suffers

Like the code
In my gene

Like the chaos
Of the spinning universe

Or the patterns
Looping eternally

Like a quest
of the elixir

Like the void
Forever empty

Or the nothingness
That holds the universe

Like night
When it is silent

Like a usual day
In constant routine

Like a labyrinth
Of places in my memory

You are what amnesia
Remembers

The pain you are
Courses through my veins

I remember love
When it stings

It's a question
Nobody could answer

Like the fear
Sending shivers

Cascading, building trust,
Fitting the pieces

Yet here I am
Aș puzzled as a toddler

For when I lost you
I only found me

But there's us
In the space between

Between the beginning
And our end

I would traverse us
Like we’re an unfinished business

Like time holding still
In its permanence  

Like a lost private key
Locking me in

Like a forgotten safe
That would never open

You are, Yes You are

Without you I just
Can never love again.
