Letters and Stars

A collection of letters 

A collection of stars 

Longing to uncover who we truly are

The moons and the planets

A cosmic array 

Cognitive functions and  

Letters ending in Ps and Js

We tell each other ours 

Seeking for understanding 

Almost a reveal of one’s soul 

Told through sound waves of a phone call

The belief in it wasn’t there 

It was a gesture, just to share 

“This is so you,” I say with a grin

Sending posts your way 

Hoping for you to let me in

“You know me so well,” you say 

Am I in?

For months, it continues this way

A reveal of one’s soul, the joining of two; 

Soulmates?

Compatibility 

We searched, confidently

The stars were on our side 

Our personalities aligned

But I look to them now

Seeking to understand 

The hostility. 

Somewhere

Along the way

Through the staring at old texts

Figuring out what to say   

I do not look anymore 

At those posts I would’ve sent your way

For your collection of letters 

Collection of stars 

Telling me who you truly are.
