Genesis 2:22
Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man,
and he brought her to the man.
and I read that
slowly
like maybe
there’s a part of me
still missing
like maybe
somewhere in this world
you are walking around
with something that once belonged to me
and I wonder…
when does God decide
it is time
when does He look at me
and say
“now”
now you are ready
now you have grown enough
now you won’t break what I give you
because some nights
I feel it
this quiet space
in my chest
like a seat
that was never filled
and I try to ignore it
tell myself
I am whole on my own
but still…
I catch myself
imagining you
your voice
how it would sound
saying my name
like it belongs there
your laugh
fitting into my silence
like it was always meant to
and I don’t know
where you are
or who you are becoming
but I hope
you are healing too
I hope
you are learning love
the right way
so that when God finally says
“here she is”
I won’t have to question it
I won’t have to chase it
I will just know
that the missing piece
has found its way back
to me
*Eve*
