She VS He


Ruben Toledo

She verses he

They started with a we

Not knowing there is need.

The beginning determined the ending

The ending alters middle

Looking for a grib

Not knowing it was in front of you.

How do I see?

“The spirit will lead…”

I get stronger with a fall

It never seemed like he was not there

But he has been walking along the with you

On the other side of the wall.

My parallel

“Hey babe,

Can you show me if you are in pain? Or confused?

Yea, yea…. Umm neither am I…”

Does you see our start as a dream? Or a nightmare?

Or the one thing to help you grasp reality?

Or want to completely let go?

It takes too much to go back

Wait, well really, there is no back…

Then It leaves you stagnate to go too far ahead

How do I enjoy today?

Knowing you are my tomorrow..

My tomorrow is getting closer

But it feels like someone is pushing it back

further with every step

I’m afraid of telling you, “I love you” ,

Because that will mean I would have to deal with my blindness

Or I would have to stomach my truth

And hardly remembering it was fun

When did the butterflies start to make me feel

As if I am falling 50 million feet off of the ground?

And at this point I just want to hit the ground already.

I no longer care if it will be painful of safe

I just want to get there

I know that is a sign of growth,

But then he brings us back

To show us that we have been mirroring

each other the entire time

Ehhh… It is bittersweet because

we look deeply at each other

searching to see if we found the answer.

What’s really crazy is

We never split up initially to search for an answer

It just transformed that way.

It got complicated that way.

It got quiet that way.

So we depart effortlessly looking for revelation.

That’s what seems like naturally a human is made to do.

Then suddenly through darkness and void

I get a touch like never before.

It made me realize in my fall

That I was never falling down

I was always falling up…

Strange …

My face was up, my back was down

I was just sure that ground was going to collide any moment

But then He whispered, “New.”

This was not the first time…

But for some reason I got a clue…

“New.”

Soft, still, peaceful, assuring, true…

God it has always been You

Then at the bat of an eye You showed us

there had always been two…

Holding hands, feelings, growth, and bonding through spirit with my love.

“God, I could never describe it so I thought I would give it in sacrifice.”

“Not knowing you were seeing me through.”

But in heart

Through all these years

I always knew that wasn’t all the way true.

So where do we go from here,

What can I do now?

It’s such a mess … Catastrophe… Out of my hands…

He said, “Look up, you start your new level here.”

So now where we begin….
