Julia de Burgos, from a poem titled "That You Love Me," featured in Song of the Simple Truth: Poems

[stickydoughtwist18]

my eyes will always be heart eyed for you

"My eyes will always be heart-eyed for you," I said.

"Don't 🥺," you replied, softly, as if you were trying to save me from something we both already knew.

Too late.

The truth is, I never chose this.

I didn't decide to look for you in crowded rooms, or smile at your name, or carry your words home with me.

My heart learned you before my mind could stop it.

So when you say "don't," I understand.

You're not being cruel. You're just standing at the edge of a place I can't follow.

But some things happen quietly, without permission.

A flower turns toward the sun. The tide returns to shore. And my eyes, every time they find you, become hearts.

Too late.

Not because I expect you to love me back.

Just because I already do.

Juliet: Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Romeo: I’m right here, Juliet..? Juliet: ‘Wherefore’ means ‘why,’ not ‘where.’ Romeo: Misunderstandings like these are what define our relationship.

like a folded letter

she was never the loudest person in the room,

but somehow people remembered her.

not because she demanded attention, but because she paid attention.

to the way the sky looked when it couldn't decide whether to rain or not.

to the pauses between words.

to the things people laughed off when they actually meant them.

she carried her heart like a folded letter—

not hidden, just not handed out to everyone.

there was a softness to her that the world rarely noticed at first.

the kind that survives disappointment.

the kind that stays kind even after learning that kindness is not always returned.

she loved deeply, thought endlessly, and felt more than she admitted.

sometimes she mistook that tenderness for weakness.

it never was.

it was the reason she could find beauty where others found nothing at all.

she was the sort of person who kept pieces of people with her—

a sentence, a smile, a moment that lasted only seconds.

and years later she would still remember.

not because she was unable to let go,

but because she understood that some things are worth carrying.

if you asked her what she wanted from life,

she might not have known how to answer.

but if you watched carefully,

you would have seen it.

she wanted connection that felt effortless.

she wanted to be understood without having to explain herself twice.

she wanted a place where she could arrive exactly as she was and never have to become smaller.

and perhaps that is why the people who truly knew her loved her quietly.

because she was never trying to be extraordinary.

she was simply herself.

and somehow,

that was extraordinary enough.
