the Magic

Do you know why NY has never left you?

Because it was magical 

An experience like no other

None of it was planned 

Yet it happened as if the two were actors in a movie 

Following a script that was just too perfect 

From the holding each other close in the rain and running to take the train 

It was all so magical 

The scenes that followed after even more so 

Videos & face times 

The sweetest ever 

Messages and emojis

Between two young kids growing and learning their way in the world 

It will always be special 

It will always be magical and held in a high regard 

Because it will forever be beautiful 

Perhaps other people may miss out on the story 

It may be too good to believe anyway 

But for those two young lovers that lived it 

It will always remain true 

A testament that magic is real 

And that sometimes you just have to let it happen 

So here’s to NY 

The city of love more so than Paris 

Because it happens when you least expect it 

Making you the most thankful for the experiences that follow 

To NY 

Now with some drinks & a smoke

Married?!

 I’ve turned 28 a couple of times and have done a lot of thinking and self discoveries along the way 

Like how for example once upon a time I thought that I wanted to be married with a career and children by the ripe age of 24

24! Can you believe it? Me, wanting all those things when I barely had a grasp on life and it’s meaning and all it entails 

It didn’t happen the way I thought I wanted and for that I am grateful 

See, at this point marriage is no longer something that I want 

I said it aloud to a man and I think he was surprised 

I haven’t said it to my best friend and I’m a little scared to

See I don’t want to have that conversation with her on how certain things should be experienced… 

Granted I don’t have the same experiences as her but that’s ok 

I’m more than ok with the things that I have experienced and learned and the conclusions that I have come to 

Now, my goal in life is to be happy and full of self love 

It’s what I really want and desire for myself 

Because once I have these two very important things, nothing else will matter

Because I am treating myself like the queen that I am with appreciation for my being and of course Love with a capital L

But a lot of people may misunderstand me and say that I don’t know what I’m talking about or that love comes with a family and children of my own 

Perhaps for them, but not for me 

At least, not anymore

What good is a relationship with another human being when there are parts of me that need major healing? How would I be able to show up for someone else and perform for the role when I am unsure of where I stand?

I’m sure that I could, but not in my very best way 

My very best way to begin anything is understanding the reason as to which I hurt the way I hurt and learning why I bleed the way I bleed to ensure that I keep my pain on that train to healing to evolve and turn it into something else 

It’s imperative for me to achieve a level of self growth that will allow me to look forward to each day knowing that there is no rush because everything is going at the pace it’s supposed to the way that it’s supposed to 

And so when asked if I want to get married I have two choices, lie and get that ‘oh don’t worry you will find someone’ accompanied with a little bit of pity or reply with the truth and say ‘oh, I don’t want to get married’ 

I prefer to work on myself and avoid expressing my unhealed parts on another of human that came to this earth to receive unconditional love that brings joy 

But that may bring forth some strange looks and avoidance of conversation 

So I’ll just keep a look of question on my face and say ‘well, you know–it would be nice…’

As I think to myself ‘why would I want to get married?’

Al hacer

Al hacer el amor contigo 

Te entregaría algo de mi 

Mi alma

No entera, no completa pero un pedacito de ella 

Te entregaría mi corazón 

No entero, no completo pero unos latidos y mi amor 

Al hacer el amor contigo 

Estaria desnuda frente a ti 

Vieras mi cuerpo tal y como es 

Lo que amo y lo que aveces quisiera amar mas 

Pero también desnudaría mi alma frente a ti 

Estaría tan vulnerable 

Pero no sentiría miedo 

Al hacer el amor contigo 

Intercambiaría mi energía con la tuya 

Te daría mis estrellas, mi luna y mi sol 

No todo, no por completo pero algo 

Y a cambio aceptaría tus estrellas, tu luna y tu sol 

Al hacer el amor contigo 

Te miraré a los ojos y con ellos decirte cosas dulces 

Te abrazaré junto a mi cuerpo y sentiré tu corazón junto al mío 

Al hacer el amor contigo te daría algo muy puro de mí 

Algo que nadie mas ha visto 

Algo que nadie mas ha sentido 

Guardado tan solo para tí 

Y por eso, hoy te lo escribí 

-Bionica 

Amor

I think that as human beings we are designed to love
This is why many of us probably seek out relationships
We are hoping to feel that wave of warmth that escalates when with someone–a really good someone

But not everyone is right for us or even for themselves at a given moment

And so when this happens there is a domino like effect of what maybe brief pleasure followed by ongoing sadness, upset and what have you

And sometimes anger...

We become angry that someone isn’t the person we want them to be and vive versa

So it’s like we’re stuck in this loop of dislike and we don’t know why

But I think it’s because many times we lack the patience and self discipline to wait for what’s right

In a world where everything is instant, the waiting game isn’t a favorite of many

But at times, when played well, the results make us forget the time spent

At least that’s what some people say

Oh, and it doesn’t have to be romantic eros love either

Sometimes we don’t even get any parental love 

And so we search for kindness in others but don’t always find it 

And when we do, we may want to simply hold on to it for always & evermore 

It happens because we have an innate need to give love and receive it

I just don’t understand what happens to make us forget about love

After all, everything comes back to love

The way we act, the things we lack and try to make up for—it’s all because of love or the absence of such 

Crazy how something we can’t exactly see, is what we are constantly searching for

Grasping on to slivers of faith with hopes that we will find it.

Palabras No Dichas

 No te voy a decir que cada vez que tomo pienso en ti o que me emborracho en tu nombre 

No te lo voy decir porque no hace falta 

No te lo voy a decir porque hay muchas cosas que tu aun no me has dicho aunque falten por decir 

Pero hablando sola me pregunto ¿porqué no has hablado conmigo?

¿Porqué no me has buscado cuando tuviste el tiempo? 

¿Porqué le sigo dando vueltas a lo de nosotros en mi cabeza? 

Yo pensando que estaba mal

Yo pensando que hice algo malo y que tal vez por eso te fuiste 

Pero la verdad es que no fue algo mío pero tal vez algo tuyo y de los dos 

Tal vez tu fallo fue no hablar y contarme lo que pensabas y lo que sentías 

Tal vez tu fallo fue el no ser honesto contigo y conmigo 

Si hubiéramos hablado mas otra cosa sería pero ¿y ahora qué? 

¿Qué nos toca?

Ahora ¿qué hacemos?

¿Ahora qué hago con esos mensajes que me no me has mandado con el teléfono en la mano y el whisky en la mesa, con los ojos cerrados pensando en nosotros? 

¿Ahora qué hago cuando escuche ‘Volverte A Ver’ y no pueda tocar otra canción?

No te lo voy a decir porque tal vez ni tu mismo sepas 

Lo que vas sentir y aun no contarme…

Because we ALL matter

I was talking to my friend earlier and she mentioned the stress felt by the civil unrest that is currently going on 

She is friends with a lot of brothers in blue and went on to say that all lives matter 

And I just couldn’t let it go 

Because of the simple truth that all lives matter, activists have come together to make sure this is more than words on paper 

Because all lives matter, we need to ensure that justice is also brought forth against the injustices committed against black people 

If Breonna Taylor were white, you better believe that the people who took her life would have been brought to justice 

It’s a human right that all people deserve and yet in 2020 people of color are denied this for some reason 

And it is exhausting to still have to explain that yes I am a woman, I am black and I am human

This should never be an issue 

But it is 

I’m so over this 

We are all human and should be treated justly 

Money, titles, politics and color should not be an issue

Why have so many people been shot at and lost their life for doing nothing while being black?

Because the justice system simply sees color 

Because the justice system gives privilege in looking the other way when it comes to crimes committed against people of color 

It’s about our human rights 

If it were white kids locked up in cages there would be a huge riot about child abuse 

But these kids have color so no one says anything 

Because all lives matter the same justice that supports white lives should support all lives and bring it all to light 

It’s not about favoritism 

It’s about being human 

It’s about educating yourself about what’s right 

My friend didn’t even know about Breonna Taylor 

No, she doesn’t live under a rock but she didn’t know 

Perhaps because the news outlets don’t give enough coverage about the injustices being done 

Except when it’s a riot and then you can’t look away 

The point of the protests was to bring forth justice ignited by George Floyd 

They were meant to change the world for the better because we all matter

Instead people felt pressure and did what they thought was justice for one man 

When so many other people of color need justice too 

It’s not about having a protest for each black person that has been wronged 

It’s about changing things so that the same measure of justice that is applied to a white person may also be applied to people of color because we all matter 

If there were stricter laws in regards to applying force and the regard for life, Elijah McClain would still be playing the violin to animals at a shelter 

Because anyone with an ‘issue’, that is armed would think twice before harming anyone including a person of color because the eyes of justice would be covered as she is rightfully represented in mythology as we all deserve justice regardless of what we look like  

In 2020 I had to explain to my friend that this is an actual thing 

I told her that as a black woman and she cut me off saying that I’m beautiful and that right there is part of the problem 

Latinos are just as guilty of this systemic racism

By my friend mentioning beauty it’s almost to counteract my being black when being bonita o fea has nothing to do with the conversation 

We need to teach people all over that skin difference in skin color is just that-difference of skin color 

It doesn’t make anyone more or less human because we are all the same

Those adjectives that follow morena pero… need to stop because they aren’t making things any better 

Latinos need to come face to face with the fact that yes you’re black, you’re indigenous and probably white but that’s the magic that makes you who are 

It’s not something to feel shame for because when it is things get complicated like it’s down to choosing sides of who you want to be with 

And humanity should never come to that 

Vanilla and Chocolate are just as delicious together as they are individually 

Never make anyone choose because flavor is flavor and it’s all fantastic

Bearing it All

Sometimes when I write I feel like I’m baring it all for everyone to see

When you’re physically naked it’s like ok well that’s what it is 

But when it’s all emotional–there is just something else there 

Can swirl the butterflies a bit-yes it could be that I just made that up 

But here’s to swirling the butterflies and being a little naked 

Unzipping the jacket that covers the heart… 

Directed to a certain someone that shall remain nameless–

It’s something that I may not admit to you ever 

But maybe I did just fall in love with you after it was all over 

See I felt so many things at once 

It was a wave of emotions and something new that I couldn’t quite process yet

In my mind I had to wait 

I had to have more physical experiences with you 

Not just messages and FaceTime calls 

And when I was with you I felt loved 

Thinking about it now it was almost like a rom-com and we were the main characters 

The two that people are always rooting for because it seems so right 

But though it did 

My mind worked over time and just questioned things 

Asking myself ‘can this really be?’

Perhaps it could have 

It really could have 

But at a slower pace 

To really see how things could be 

But then life happened and the messages became less and less 

To the point that what I sent wasn’t lost in space, just left unanswered 

And I would have completely understood if you would have told me that you met someone 

I would have sent you well wishes because you’re great and you deserve it 

But you didn’t say anything 

And I respected and still do respect your silence 

With admiration for the relationship you have now 

Because I really do want you to be happy 

I feel that I could tell you I love you looking you straight in the eyes 

Not because I want you to overthink your relationship or push me away completely 

But because I genuinely want you to love 

To have that beautiful relationship that sprouts when two people meet and work together 

To make things better, learn from each other and continue growing every day in love and so many other good things 

However I won’t say that to you 

I won’t say anything at all 

I’ll let my words stay on a page 

Maybe say them one day, imagining that they reach your ears 

And that you know that I want you to be happy 

Feeling the love vibes that I’m sending you 

Knowing that its a different friendship between me and you…

Bionica 

The kids...

I’m not sure how old she is 

But she’s for sure a grown up 

The kind that shouldn’t have to hide her relationship in a car to makeout and ride the horse 

Definitely the kind that should know better to abide by the laws of social distancing for the good of all people 

But she doesn’t seem to get it 

See, I was walking my babies and there they were 

Parked on a corner 3 blocks away from home with the engine running 

In a silver SUV with the bright pink sign in the middle of the windshield that read Lyft

LYFT!!! Can you believe it 

Exposing the car to sexy time germs that probably won’t get wiped down 

Making me wonder about the passenger’s exposure to Lord knows what

I mean how bad is it really?

What have these 2 done that this adult woman is not able to bring her adult boyfriend home so that she can sit on his lap in the privacy of her own bedroom 

Instead of the privacy of their own car with not so tinted windows to which nosey passerby like to look inside 

You know, one time I saw her straddling him in public at a little park near my house 

A popular spot for dogs of all types and a favorite for dog parents because it’s a given that your fur baby will make business there 

And apparently a popular spot for two people that can’t seem to bring it inside 

I wonder if there is a special thrill to public places after 30 and before 40

And if so am I missing out?

Is there something wrong with wanting to keep intimate moments to yourself 

Shall more people above the age of known maturity regress to those that are now called Gen Z and do it up in public?

I mean, what’s wrong with wanting to have something just for the 2 of you?

With out anyone walking in to your public “let’s get it on session”

It could be that I may never learn the answer to this question 

And it could be very much that I will forever wonder why my grown neighbor and her grown boyfriend never take it inside 

But man, I would just think that comfort is key

It can be hard to get in on in a car while both are in the front

At least try taking it to the back 

But hey, that’s just me… 

-Bionica

What could she do???

He told her that he loved her 

It could have been the 2nd or the 3rd time that she heard it from him 

She didn’t say anything 

All she did was smile 

What could she say?

I love you too!

No she couldn’t say it

Because with him the lines were blurred

He was different and she was still exploring 

Learning about him and all that he was 

He wasn’t like the other people that came into her life 

With the purpose of simply being friends and offering some good laughs

He was there hoping to be more and she wasn’t sure of what to do

They worked together and things were still building for her 

She didn’t know if it was safe to let her guard down 

But each time she stared into his eyes, she saw something 

Something that she hadn’t seen in a long time 

It was a look deeper than the one Kevin got when he looked at Winnie 

After telling her “I like you, like you” 

But she was scared 

She was afraid that their intimacy wouldn’t be theirs 

But something that belonged to the world 

She was afraid that the secrets that she kept for so long 

Would escape him and find their way to someone else 

She didn’t know what to do 

She was afraid of taking the risk…

She was afraid of holding his hand to later fall into a lettuce batch 

The way Samantha did when Smith held her hand 

But if she fell, would he be there to help her get back up?

She didn’t know…

Bionica 

No me olvides...

No me olvides 

Porque tu amor es del mas lindo que he conocido

Lo que siempre he pedido y lo que no 

Lo que nunca pensé que me hacía falta y lo que sí 

No me olvides 

Porque a ti te tengo constantemente presente 

En las canciones que escucho 

En los cuentos que leo 

Y los super heroes que veo 

No me olvides 

Porque mis lagrimas mas sentidas son las tuyas

Al recordar esos momentos hermosas 

Donde las palabras no hacían falta y los sentimientos sobraban 

No me olvides 

Porque en tu mirada he encontrado un mar de maravillas 

En las que puedo nadar cada día cuando cierro mis ojos y te veo a ti 

No me olvides 

Porque cada mañana te doy los buenos días 

Dando te la bendición mas sincera 

Y en la noches tus abrazos me llenan de calor 

No me olvides 

Porque tu siempre vivirás en mi 

En mi silencio 

En mis aullidos 

En mis susurros 

En mi vida…

To love...

She couldn’t count the ways in which she loved him for they were by far not that many 

She honestly couldn’t understand what it was exactly that made her feel what she did 

But she did feel and she felt a lot 

In the mornings before getting out of bed she could feel herself smiling when she thought of him 

In the afternoons if she saw something with the slightest semblance of his thoughts she felt in awe

And in the evenings it was he who crossed her mind, every single night 

But then she wondered

Did he do the same? 

Could it be that they both held separate silent marathons in which each constantly ran through the other’s thoughts 

Could it really be possible that they both thought of each other just as much?

They had lost each other 

Out of the blue, not to be found again 

But if their gazes were to meet once again–

What would we he say?

What would he do?

Would he remember exactly all that they lived in this life and in the previous one?

Would he just pull her in and take in the smell of her hair, disheveled the way he like it?

Would everything be the same or better?

Would there be enough words to capture the moment?

Could it be that above all he always held on to the memory of her 

Hoping that one day the timing would be right 

And all would fall into place

No more running in opposite directions 

No more running away 

Because this time they would be running together

She didn’t know 

She wasn’t sure if she wanted to know 

To find him and find out…

Bionica 

Done...

Her eyes kept on averting over to her phone 

The one that was kept in the dark for the past 3 hours 

Without a single notification to light it up

Not an email swoosh to let her know something new came in 

Or a beeping alert to the reply of his message 

And just like that she knew that it was over 

Without it even starting, it was done 

After a 10 minute walk, befriending her fur baby and 7 minutes of face to face talking 

It was done, just like that 

She wasn’t sure of what happened 

She wasn’t sure if it was something she said 

She wasn’t sure if it was something she didn’t say 

But after all that questioning, she knew she didn’t have the answers 

She knew who held the key, but she wasn’t going to try the lock 

Because just like that, it was done…

-Bionica

The Drive

It was an interesting car ride

One in which she asked questions to make conversation 

But he didn’t really seem too interested in replying to 

Maybe he had something else on his mind 

He wanted to know more about her

Specifically, why she was still single 

An age old question that she knew the answer to 

Yet she couldn’t really answer 

So she gave him a line 

The one that goes ‘I just haven’t made a connection with someone yet’ 

It’s pretty believable 

It makes sense and is logical 

But the real answer, she just wasn’t ready 

She just wasn’t ready to give in and give out 

To her a relationship meant giving parts of yourself 

That you just couldn’t get back 

It meant making memories that you could look back on 

And no longer care for the person that shared such moments with you 

She had to take a moment to breathe 

Did she want to continue building up knowing that the next brick laid 

Would be shared with someone different 

It was just too much for her at the moment 

But that was ok 

She knew she needed time to heal 

And when he leaned in 

She moved back 

She just wasn’t ready to give up more of herself 

Did he understand?

She couldn’t say 

But for some reason he wasn’t scared off

He wanted to stay…

De los que siguen sin ser...

Tenía unos 8 años
Estaba en el 3 grado
Él tenía 9 años
Estaba en 4 grado

Un rebelde sin causa
Que le pidió ayuda con una tarea
Pues a ver que ella no entendía mucho
Pero eso no se lo dijo a él

Para nada se le ocurrió decir
Que pues sus tareas eran de él
De nadie mas
Por que a ver quien quiere
Hacer la tarea de otro por bondad?

Por lo menos no ella
Pero lo que si quería
Era que él siguiera hablando con ella
Pues con esos ojitos lindos
Ella sentía maripositas

Le gustaba su mirada
Pensaba que era lo máximo
Hasta cartitas de amor le escribía
Pero de él
Ni 1 recibía

Que hasta los saludos parecían
Ser demasiados
Y nada pasó

Se lo volvió a encontras
En dos etapas mas de su vida
Al terminar el colegio
Al terminar la universidad
Igual de guapo
Con sus ojitos lindos

Y nada pasó
Pues ningún sentimiento alguno
Por lo menos no de su parte
-Bionica

Otros que no fueron

De esos amores que no fueron
Ella recuerda una vez, no muy claramente
Pero había un chico en su clase
Cuando estaba en el 4 grado con apenas 9 años

Se lo encontraba algo guapo
Una de las niñas del curso se dio cuenta
Pero él que nada

Y con su sonrisa de dientes
Un poco apartados
Ella supo que él no se fijaría en ella

Y no fue que se burló de ella
Si no, que no la miró

Luego en 7 grado
Escuchó que un alumno dijo
Que ella tenía una cara bonita
Pero lo de mas fatal

Otra desilusión para tachar
Estos chicos que no fueron
De verdad que hacen algo
Para subir los ánimos

Pero nada
Se volvió a encontrar con él
Ya había llegado a la universidad
Ya había aprendido
Que su felicidad y autoestima
No depende de otros

Pero cuando él trato de invitarla a salir
Pues zas!!!
Que plantón porque ni su numero le dio
Es que hay cosas que no se olvidan

Y por mas madura que intentaba ser
Esa si que no la iba dejar ir
Aunque ese amor nunca fue
-Bionica

Love is for Lovers

This is why she liked love stories so much
Because she honestly didn't believe it could happen to her
Not that it wasn't possible
Not that it wasn't feasible
It just didn't happen

The guys she would attract
Well some of them were let's be honest
Not the best
Interest in what maybe temporary
Oh and then the nice ones
Well for some reason
She just couldn't get into them

The feels weren't there
It was just an eh
Empty sensation

She just couldn't find the one
And then she thought she did
But maybe she didn't

The feels and everything were there
But they didn't have words
And you know
For her they weren't needed
It was just felt

But nothing happened…
So she went on her merry way

Admiring from up close and yes even far
How that fairytale ending came about for so many
It was the joy she felt
In hearing the love stories
Of how when he walked into a bar
Turned to his friend and said
'I'm going to marry her'

It really happened
He told her before the wedding
Because of course, she had to ask

It's the story of how her friend's wife
Thought he was the cutest guy ever
When she saw him she tried to play it cool
He was chatty with her friend
But even her friend was confident
That he was just trying to break the ice

So it's really nice
To know that romance is real
That it exists and makes so many people feel

That's why she likes it
She likes to listen to the details
Of 'how we met' and 'I knew he was the one when'
Because it makes her hopeful to know that
Well all that bubbly romance isn't just for show
That it's for sure

Maybe not for her, but listening to the stories
Well that's just as good

Mi Amor Feróz

Nos conocimos una Noche Vieja
Algunos dirán que fue amor a primera vista
Pero en verdad no se
Cierto que cuando lo vi pues me encariñé de una vez
Pero eso nada mas

Llegó la hora de partir y por ahí me fui
Luego me preguntan si me quisiera ver con él
Lo pensé y cuando pregunté por él
Se había ido con otra
Que lástima ¿no?

Pero por cosas del destino se fue de esa casa
Cuando recibí esa llamada le dije sí sin pensarlo
Como decirle que no a esa cara tan bonita
Después de haberlo soñado tanto

Llegó a mi casa
Y ya no se acostaba temprano
Esperaba que todos estuvieran listos para dormir
Antes de subir él y descansar
Un amor de por sí

Siempre gracioso y guapo, pues ni decir…
Pero con el paso del tiempo empezó a mostrar
Su lado celoso y dominante
Al pasar otra persona de frente que no le gustara
Pues un pleito casi seguro

Nada de puños pero de dientes–que hay muchos
Pero es que conmigo siempre tan amable
Que aun no me lo creo
Pero igual lo amo
A mi cachorrito
Mi lob feróz que piensa que es león
Rey de la selva
Y no un maltipoo pequeño que apenas pesa
10 libras
hahaha

Amor de por sí

The Breakup

She didn't see it coming
How could she?
They weren't even dating
They were just friends for about 2 years and counting
Friends who would talk late at night
About the moon and the stars
No, not really

But they would talk about different issues
Why do guys do this?
Why do girls do that?
He was her go to man
Whenever she had a question
That only he could answer

And of course he was nice
Good looking
Tall dark and handsome
But they were just friends

And then the moment came
When the doors of honesty were opened wide
He told her how he felt
He liked her
He liked her a lot
She told him how she felt
She liked listening to what he had to say
She liked to imagine herself taking long walks
While he held her hand in his

But they were being honest
And honesty rules
So he told her
They could have it all
And still be just friends
But she wanted it all
and she didn't want to be just friends

The Buika Experience

She found her seat shortly after arriving at the venue
The Town Hall of Manhattan
The very same one she would pass daily
On her commute to work

The crowd was very mixed, people of all backgrounds
Of different ages, all sharing a great taste in music

She had no idea of what to expect
After all, it was her first time going to a concert alone
But she wasn't the only one
The woman next to her just happened to buy her ticket
That very evening about a half hour before

There was an opening act
A woman of whom she had never heard of before
But with the dimmed lights and her closed eyes
She was able to enjoy each sound that came out of
The singer's mouth

Like a Shakespearean sonnet whispered in her ear
She was able to fall in love with the song, it's lyrics, it's tone and its feel

Then the woman of the hour
The one that said that she wanted to be more than 'just a black girl'
Because for her, it's important to be 'every girl'
And why not?
Why not embrace the pain and the joy of every girl
And let it out

In a song that was all her own
And could never belong to anyone else
It was the way that she accompanied a story
To the melodic raspiness of her voice
The voice that went up and down with feeling

The timber of her voice was so strong
That you could feel the blues inside your chest
The way she did
The timber of her voice was so strong
That you could feel bulería alegre with each heartbeat
The way she did

A story of beauty is what she is
Because of the honesty that she so openly has
There is nothing wrong with saying the truth
Be it good or bad
And that's what she does
Teaching the listener that 'we all go through it'

Seeing Buika live is an experience for the heart, for the ears and for the mind!

The One

Maybe it's just not for everybody
that one person that's supposed to be
your one true love

the one that you supposedly dreamed about
since the moment you were able to remember your dreams

Maybe it's just about momentary bouts of happiness
that different people are able to
fulfill at different moments

instead of that single one
there are probably a lot ones
times 5, 7 or 8 for all you know

the kind that are 'the one' for that specific moment
so that when you look back and remember
at that trial, tribulation or fun
you're able to smile
because that's just how it was supposed to happen

for the stories, the moments
for the lifetime of experience that
you just wouldn't be able to have
from just that 'one'

Because that's way better than none
Because that's what was just meant to be…
