I wish we didn't feel the pain. I wish we didn't welcome it.
I wish we could let it go. I wish we wanted to.
I wish for questions. I wish for answers.
I wish to be a part. I wish to be a whole.
But most of all I wish to be heard, to be recognized in your eyes, my companion, my friend, my sister.
We wish but we do not ask.
Instead we search, hand in hand, for the parts, wholes, questions, answers, pain, happiness, and recognition of our existence.
We search. We seek. We long to understand.
But the beauty lies in the fact that we don't.
