This Rumi seems to have understood what we’re going through

I have come to drag

you out of yourself,

and take you in my heart.

I have come to bring

out the beauty

you never knew

you had and lift

you like a prayer

to the sky.

I will soothe you

and heal you

I will bring you roses.

I too have been covered

with thorns.

The minute I heard my first love story,

I STARTED LOOKING FOR YOU, not knowing

how blind that was.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.

They are in each other all along.
