A letter to myself

A Tale of Time Travel

Dear future me,

When peace finds you again,

I hope it comes as quietly as a stranger’s fleeting smile in this restless world

When resilience finds you again,

I hope that it greets you with the same empathy that you carry in all your hugs

When hope finds you again,

I hope that it glimmers in your eyes like the waves kissed softly by the sunlight

When trust finds you again,

I hope that it meets you with with a gentle kiss never weighing you like a burden

When tenderness finds you again,

I hope it treats your love as enough; never more, never less

When love finds you again,

I hope that it embraces you with the same shameless devotion that mirrors your depth

And when you finally find yourself again,

I hope you eventually understand the architecture of your chaos,

Not as a poem to be dissected into features or flaws

But as your whole truth, relentlessly yours.

really liked that every line starts with a “when” and not “if”. the certainty is so reassuring :) also this part: > Not as a poem to be dissected into features or flaws But as your whole truth, relentlessly yours. afsgdhd sorry about dissecting your poem, i just had to mention this line. lovely writing <3
