toward a future

it seems that i've loved you countless times, over and over, in life after life, forever.
each time you come and go, taking bits of who i was, stealing pieces of my heart, we start over to do it all over again, forever.
you have given me endless love, endless sorrow, and an idea of tomorrow that for the first time in a long time, i know what to do with.
i know what i want my life to look like meeting at the tavern on the edge of the world.
today, i begin my forever without you, looking to someone who will love me for me and see all the beauty i can give the world.
who will look into my eyes and without hesitation or doubt give me their breath or their heart beating in their chest without thought.
i will not ask anymore, to be given the world.
someone now, will give it to me freely.
