Droplets of water originating from different layers of condensate in the atmosphere. Destined to find the bonds of the earth along the path of their descent. Some vapor, melded into form by the temperature and the pressure of the heavens formed into a conglomeration of like molecules, ever growing. The destination is impact and from there, the story grows more bold. Some dissolve into a sea, losing their individual form to become something more broad and expansive. Some impact the earth to nourish the roots of a nearby plant or to be consumed and promote life in another gathering of water who has grown legs and ears and eyes. Others still will find the ground only to evaporate into an invisible form back into the skies from which they fell. Water is a traveler on a journey and a mysterious mission.
And then there was you. A perfect form of atoms and carbon and molecules of water built into the perfect shape with a perfectly imperfect mind. You learned and you carried with you the things that bear your name and define you. Your water serves a higher purpose. It has been given fertile soil in which to blossom into beauty and wit and emotion. Water with a soul.
When I met you, the liquid of my being felt as if it was missing the part of itself that could only be found inside of you. It wasn’t mere attraction or magnetism, it was a feeling of missing the most important piece and I had finally found it. Science proves that molecules and atoms vibrate constantly, and for the first time I was aware that the ones inside of me were doing that very thing.
As the years have passed, your matter has become what matters to me. There is a peace with you, a completeness and an ever present longing to love you. Being the conductor that it is, the electricity that powers my internal machine is made more efficient for knowing you. Everything is and has alway been electric when you’re there grounding the sparks within me. My electricity is directed through the water that is you. Directed to stay the course. I will always blindly follow. Nature, the external and the internal, is magical, and the fact that these two bodies made of water were drawn into the path of the other shows that coincidence is for the foolish. Our ever expanding universe put you within my trajectory with purpose and there will never be enough time within a life to give enough thanks for that.
Droplets of water, bound to be together from the start, flowing together toward the horizon as one larger drop. Finding the bonds of earth alone but somehow finding you has proven to be my life’s greatest adventure. As this heart pumps its blood made of water, know that it is doing so for you.
