I can surely suffer no more loss of myself in others.
My soul is as if I am the spent remains of press out cookie cutters,
his shape , your shape my lost dear friend, her shape,
gone .
Leaving,
holes,
sweet memories, turned bitter.
Short bursts of laughter,
long nights of tears,
"tell me 5 things I dont know about you" talks,
putting me on the airplane,
long terminal corridor walks.
What of my part in you, your part in me
must that now die too?
Can this sense of loss be all attributed to the flux, the dynamicity of life?
Seasons change I am told , people come and go.
But what of consistency , what of fight, what of resolve?
For I surely can suffer no more loss of self in others,
so tell me you will stay,
tell me time , and words unspoken ,
wont push away, wont destroy with atrophic decay
me in you ,
you in me,
us in we.

my dear rachel,
what a lovely message you left me.
i am sorry for the trouble i caused you and i am pleased to hear that you decided to stay with your family. i pray that this will be a season of love and reconciliation with you and them and that your heart will overflow with christmas spirit.
believe me that your self is not lost in me. that you are much apart of me, apart of my journey, apart of my understanding of many things.
i ask only one thing: that you will be able to call me on the morning of the 26th so that you can pray with me! ! i will miss your presence because i know with you i can just turn and say, "rachel, pray in the spirit." and you will.
you are my true sister. and my joy.
