This is for you, yu and u.

Time passes for a reason

If it stood, still imagine what would never happen
People would be worse versions of themselves

And countries would never move on from their mistakes

Paradigm shifts would never occur
Nor would star crossed lovers find their paths.

I am of a lucky breed, this I know

Hated by many but treasured by more

Diversely wanting and innately craving

Truth from a soul and heart from the whole

Of a person so present their minds I nothing but adore.

The wholeness of your presence

The power of your essence

Humbled by everything you seem to do regardless.

I might be mumbling and rumbling but I’m glad it’s to you

I rarely find myself just speaking to thin air

But imagine how real it feels to have your scent in the air

All kinds of smells from you hug me and threaten to kidnap me

They send me to you - my captor - one who keeps me with such freedom

An open door for me to leave and a closed one when I’m in need

Somehow I contravene these misconceptions and enjoy your company

When you simply speak and express yourself unapologetically

If it's because I did something dumb or you simply expected better

My fears allayed but even at their height I chase helplessly after thee-

One who calms a troubled soul, one who contains the turbulence.

Aware of the perils in the waterfall, you jumped both feet in

Only to find a cold and callous soul

Yet you quickly knew this was just a rouse

Which you quickly set about to defuse

In real shock about how all of this turned out.

Sworn enemies in another life currently going out

Similarities and differences are few and far in between

I speak of expressing myself just that bit more freely

I may have lived a lie so long that I had started to believe it

I fought you with everything I had but too deep I kept sinking in

You have been so many things unto me I’m thinking you are an ET

So worry not when i keep calling you namesThat’s how many things you, yu and u, are to me.
