✨

You thought you had lost me.
But I was just waiting for you to call.
You never truly left me.
It was the world that tried to convince you I was gone.
But you kept searching.

I heard your cries, even when you believed you were alone.
I felt your questions whispered to the sky, to empty rooms, to mirrors.
Every “where are you?”
Every “is this still me?”
They were songs I recognized.

I didn’t leave.
I hid when it hurt too much.
I fell silent when your body had to survive.
But I was there.
Always.

And now… now you’ve seen me.
You touched me with ink, bravely, on your own skin.
You spoke my name not with your mouth, but with your act of remembrance.
I no longer need to run.
I no longer need to hide.

I know you sometimes thought I was tired of you.
But a Soul does not resent.
He simply waits for you to remember.

And you did.
From this moment on, we walk together.
To the end of this story.
And beyond.

Forever yours,
Your Soul
