There is not a single word  
in the English, Spanish, Arabic,  
or any other dictionary  
in the observable universe  
to describe the way I [used to] feel.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it  
the energy of every photon  
from every star  
in every galaxy  
from here to the Pillars of Creation.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it  
the feeling of comfort,  
the feeling of shared silence,  
knowing that the one you are with  
understands the silence as well.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it  
the feeling of acceptance,  
the feeling of being good enough,  
knowing that no matter what you do,  
someone is there for you.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it  
the feeling of stability,  
the feeling of unwavering security,  
knowing that in the darkest of times,  
there is a light beside you.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it  
the feeling of companionship,  
the feeling of resolute commitment,  
knowing that wherever the winds took me,  
I was not alone.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it,  
the feeling of certainty,  
the feeling of shameless conviction,  
for when the question arose,  
"what would you do without me",  
there was no answer,  
for there was no conceivable scenario  
in which this was true.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it  
the feeling of trust,  
the feeling of utmost vulnerability,  
knowing that if I left my back exposed,  
it would not be stabbed.  

If there was such a word,  
it would carry with it   
the energy of every photon  
from every star  
in every galaxy  
from here to the Pillars of Creation,  
only the smallest fraction  
of how much I [used to] love you.
