I Found the One

I found the one I will never forget. And so, I have sentenced myself to a lifetime of remembering. Not in joy. Not in ease. But in quiet, daily doses of pain even the universe cannot subdue. The kind of love that burns clean through without permission— and stays. Not like a memory. Like a wound that learned how to breathe. I found the one who will be in every morning fog, every echo of a door closing, every silence that sounds like their name but isn’t. And though the world may go on, I will walk through it partially broken, partially beautiful— and entirely her's.
