Waiting for the Eclipse
I just wrote this to help me work through some emotions with someone I've been seeing the last couple years. Sometimes you know it isn't meant to be what you usually have, yet you find satisfaction in the lack of convention.
You are the moon
And I am the sun
Though we remain separate
Our dance is one
Split between the same sky
With opposite realities
Both part of one journey
Night exists to recognize day
And just as daylight gives breath to night
I breathe you out
Hold on to the plight
Propelled to each end
What repels us keeps us together
Gravity deep and entangled
Quantum unity
In the dual nature of our love
Goodnight, my moon, hope the night sky treats you well
I'll be sleeping quite softly while you rage and rebel
When I wake at the first crack of dawn, you'll be gone
Though sometimes I still see you peeking out
Far beyond your bedtime of 6am
And though we both cherish the moments
Where we get to show others that we share the sky
We know deep down we lead two separate lives
Day
Night
We are opposites which collide

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.
