“I won’t leave you,” you said. “I know monsters. I’ve seen them.”
I murmured in sympathy, “You’ve loved them.”
If the gods are stardust and mystery, you became like a god to me. Not in the sense that you were untouchable or perfect, but when I saw your reflection in the small parts of my life, I loved them. I knew myself better and was content. Our intimate rituals became prayer and communion.
I’ll turn around. Yes. I’ll turn around. See you in all your splendor. Smile, weep tears of joy, and think: There you are.
"It's not as easy as we think to leave."
