I want to make the mistake... [ Prose ]

by Everlasting   Dec 9, 2015


I want to travel the world of your thoughts,
I want to visit your heart and settle there once and for all.
I don't want to become a guest to your life who stays for a while then leaves.
I want to make of your love my home.
But the more my mind explores the institutions of how your life has been built,
the more it takes it to locate where your heart has been constructed.

You have cities of hopes, undergrounds of sadness, suburbs of different emotions...

Life has built you in a way that I don't know how to find my way in you.
But since the moment, I set my foot firmly on the premises
that I would not leave you until I had fully explored your every ground,
I'm determined to continue giving all the steps required
until I have done so, even if it takes me a lifetime.

Unfortunately, the more I explore the establishments you have set for the truth, the more I realize how lost in you I have become. The more mesmerized I become by your attractions. The more I wish I was a tourist with a guide to help me understand your history. Yet as I explore you each and every day, all I can do is attempt to draw a map of your different premises of thought to help me find my way around.

Don't get me wrong, but I don't wish to get completely lost in you. I don't wish to awake one day and find that I don't know my way around you. I don't wish to feel unfamiliar to any of your establishments. I want to know you. I want to be familiar with
every part of your ideas, reasonings, and conclusions. I want to know the pathways of how you solve daily problems. I want to see the bridges that have connected your logics and how those bridges have help others cross into a state of peacefulness. I want to see the nature that sprouts from within you, that lives in you....

I want to explore every part of you before I finally settle in your heart.

------

I want to make the mistake of getting lost in you,
and find that it was all worth it.
