Searching

Written by Jacob Ibrag

She sat up and stared at my hand,

‘if I asked you to stay a bit longer,

would you?’ Even if my physical

presence was lost, I’d always be hers.

When we come into this world, we’re

broken without a reason given to us

regarding this emotion. We’ll swim

through clouds from moment to the

next, searching for something we can’t

quite put into words just yet. Then it

happens, like magnets, the two souls

unite and dance through the halls of

nirvana all while still being completely

infused with thoughts of sadness. How

was it possible that the other existed

without its better half for as long as it

has? In that moment, nothing else

matters as the world around them

renders itself silent. Showing off a

little grin, I take my jacket off and

sit next to her, ‘I’ll always be here.’
