broken for different reasons,

we align, before we separate,

and once again, we search for the next wilting leaf

trying to turn a night into sufficiency.

This passage is so achingly lonely. This poem hit so hard. Beautifully done. 💕✨

This is cinematic.

A friend of mine has just gone through heartbreak, and I ended up writing them this letter. Sharing it with you in the hopes that it resonates even just a little: https://open.substack.com/pub/idontknowwhoneedstohearthis/p/why-do-i-feel-like-im-only-whole?r=4qmokz&utm_medium=ios
