You Are the Universe
You Are the Universe
I think that love is
When you see yourself in someone else
Or you see them in yourself
And you realize that you are the universe
That you are:
The other humans too
You are the other half of their unfinished sentence
They're speaking words you thought belonged only in your head
And somehow you thought you were strangers
But you aren’t.
You’re even the water’s waves
They want to carry you with them
They don’t leave you behind
They hold you in the arms of their ripples
The sun reaches for us
Painting us with its rays
Even the wind wants to take you for a ride
It wants to lift you in its rush
And take you on a journey
It wants to tug at your hair
And the papers in your hands
Yet we resist it
We try to separate ourselves
Not realizing
We are the Earth
We are its elements
Its wind and water
Its humans and fire
We are the universe
In human form
