Half of the World
Without realizing it, a decade slipped by in your company.
Without realizing it, another year has gone by.
Whether we realize it or not, each day crawls by on it's belly through happiness and sadness swirling together into treacherous storm clouds.
That place in the middle where everything is calm and peaceful, that has always been the place where you are.
On many occasions I have protested the elements of my life which might desire to pull me away from you. I have even said to their faces, "she is the one thing I won't just let you take me away from."
Now we are separated by two halves of the world. On one side there is everything we knew and lived for years. On this side, there is something we have longed to know for ourselves. It may seem that our lives themselves are diverging at times. It may seem that this world could be enough to separate us after all this time. But you are still that calm place within my memory, and you will always be an enormous entity within my heart.
Enormous, that's kind of funny. The world sees in an instant the humor in that description. You appear to be a delicate petite doll when set against the backdrop of the world. Perhaps the thing that everyone can agree on is the enormity of your eyes. And I know that there is something in that. The eyes are the window of the soul, but even the great and glorious glass of your eyes is not even a glimpse into the depth of your boundless soul. That is the reason that our lives will forever be linked, not because I can profess to know everything about that soul, but because it's presence is there in my own. Even if they do not combine, even if we do not even know the nature of our own souls, they are forever dancing to the secret rhythm of our destinies, which I believe are intertwined.
Right now we are apart. Right this very moment. But just as my heart longs to look into your mysterious eyes again, I know that we can not be parted forever. Even now our destinies are configuring the dimensions and parameters of our next meeting. Even if our lives only briefly glance each other's edges, I believe that they will do so continuously and into eternity. As long as I exist, I know I will meet you again. I know this because you are my truest friend.
[Some Human language:
I sorry I missed your birthday. I still don't know what I'm going to do this semester, but whatever I do I hope I can get a moment to see you (whether it's as short as your layover or as long as the time before you go). I wish I could do more for you to celebrate and that we could see each other longer, but I'm sure things will all work out. Much love]
