i wonder, sometimes
who you are.
in my mind
you are two parts
equal
someone i love
someone i loathe
but the other part
yourself
was something i forgot
to remember
do i love you?
i can never know
not on this journey.
when my veil is lifted,
you'll be the first one i see.

The author's comments:
It's difficult to explain this piece. I wrote it for someone I never got the chance to meet, but that I spent a long time thinking about anyway. It's pretty spiritual for me, actually, and I hope reading it can leave someone with a peaceful feeling.
