You say you look unpresentable
But if you only look into my eyes, you will see the reflection
Of something more breathtaking than any gem,
The image of the most beautiful person I have ever seen

inexplicably sad you realize
you've been trained to be afraid of this kind of silence
this silence without
echoed the stillness after the battle
in moments like this you think of him
who you carry in the ink on your arm
flexing your sword hand
following his murderers
so while your friends run off naked to howl at the moon
you stay behind to feel that memory
you always kept your feelings close to your chest
but the silence now is deafening
you close your eyes
as a single tear
rolls down your cheek
suddenly in this temple to the wilderness
you feel electricity as a phantom hand rests on your shoulder
the weight and the angle could only be one person
you turn around to see the statue of the wild mother in the circle of moonlight
this time she's carrying something
she brings a sword between her arms
where she had none before
a smell in the air like him
so far out here in the wilderness
so resolute of mind and spirit
you are reminded you aren't alone
you're wandering but you're on the right path
a seedling on the wind like a wayward pilgrim

Sure, he told you he loved you. But did he say…
The never-ending ache of love and sorrow. Perhaps in some other life I could have refused, could have torn my hair and screamed, and made him face his choice alone. But not in this one. He would sail to Troy and I would follow, even into death.

To feel love
Navia x Neuvillette
☀️ 🌧
I want to feel love, Monsieur Neuvillette. The kind that peels away the layers of infatuation, stripping away titles, impressions, and connotations; seeing and treasuring the core of truth that is a person’s heart. One that dives from shallow waters of childish adoration to the deeper depths of genuine and mature connection with another soul, tightens the loose ties of simple friendship into a sturdy knot tied to each other’s fingers, and sings a duet of loving and being loved in return.
I want to feel love, Monsieur Neuvillette, and I am lucky to have found it.
I found you.

If you are ever puzzled with how easily I let you go after such a passionate display of my feelings, know that it took me a great deal of self-control to not text you that day, or the next. It is because of those feelings, I held my affection in so I could make space for the possible existence of yours.
