In the morning, when our love is as tranquil as dew
I will think of two entities
Just Me and You.
Our journey, future, present and past
What our love entails, and how long it will last.
In the afternoon, at the pinnacle of our joy
I will hasten to remind you
That our foes will attempt to destroy
That which, we most cherish and unquestionably enjoy.
In the evening, when we have gained and lost
Our love will still hold firm
By any means or any cost
We will reflect and laugh about memories from our prime
And we will cling firmly on each other’s wrinkled hands
While we wait for our time.

The found family trope is for those who were never a first choice. Those that always carried the baggage but received no tips in exchange. It’s for those that needed a wall to lean on but learned to build one on their own . They looked at people as potential. As someone who could very well become an important part of their life. This is the trope for those who listened but were never heard, those that seeked an idea of a home in souls and not walls. It is for the ones that yearn for a love the weight of blood, but came with no obligation- no -they wanted to be chosen , they wanted a familial bond that escaped the scopes of biology . They wish for their presence to have meaning. For it to be significant. And for their absence to be nagging. Brutal. Loud.
when kafka said ‘you wouldn’t believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it’ and when brontë said ‘if you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your slave’ and when Sartre said ‘if I’ve got to suffer it may as well be at your hands’
i wish some of you lived down the street so i could go to your house and bother you in person every single day
the pain is unlike anything I could have ever imagined.
