I could never be ungrateful for any of it.
Every good and painless moment.
Every bad and painful moment.
All of them of no consequence.
Every sensation, every tear, each squeal of laughter,
all of the moments my breath was taken away,
every slap and caress of my skin,
the endorphins, the adrenaline.
Every heartbreak and heart-melt.
The bitter, the sweet.
I wouldn’t change a second of any of it.
Not one motion or sentence.
Everything and every breath
exactly as it happened.
With the next breath I met you.
That gave purpose to every moment
that led to that moment.
Finding you was the fate of it all.
Mystery of mysteries.
Wonder of wonders.
Beyond the beyond.
Moment of moments.
I could never be ungrateful for any of it.
