As the sun rises today--the 1st day of the 7th month--I write this piece for someone so dear to me...This is for all those times she thought I forgot her birthday. YES, it is true that there were times it slipped my mind but i had never forgotten...my greetings may have been late but again NEVER forgotten.
Though we were always miles apart (and we do make up for it when we're together) our bond is always stronger as each day passes...like that of twins... We know how the other feels...I feel it when she's happy, I hurt when she's unhappy, I'm proud when she's ecstatic and when she feels hopeless and in despair I long to embrace her and envelop her in silence as she cries, with hopes that the pain and emptiness she feels will go away...But as I remember all this in depth--the things I share with her--I realize that it is my emotions that she mirrors...
It took one big argument that one fateful day for me to understand, that it is her strength that makes me hold on and embrace life, it is her impatience that drives me to excel...It is her words that keeps me sane...and at times when I can no longer hold on...she simply says "Everything's gonna be alright" and I believe her EVERY time...and everything does turn out to be alright.
For the 25 years, she's been searching for a purpose in her life (although I am uncertain if she's already figured it out) this is what I know is true my darling, You will always be my rock...one of the foundations of my being...one of whom has helped me be who I am...I meant it when I said I wouldn't know what I'd do if I lost you, for you keep me grounded. I guess you can safely say that I am one of your purposes in life...to keep making me believe that Love truly exists in it's most unconditional way.
Happy Birthday my darling Thara....
