What’s it like?
Like nothing else
Like something I can’t explain
Like everything sad and profound and beautiful,
all rolled into one
Bittersweet love.
It’s common, but never ordinary:
A crushing, soul-deep pain,
A precious, primal connection.
Life spins on
Time races by
But part of me is always there,
back then,
Holding him in my body
in my arms.
