wonderful comes gently

Wonderful eats a tomato - only because you mentioned that tomatoes are your favourite thing to put on toast. It calls you at two in the afternoon - just to hear your voice. It laughs at your jokes when they aren’t funny. Wonderful listens to you breathing and doesn’t try to fill the space with words. It exposes its vulnerabilities and knows you can be trusted with its charms.

Wonderful is what finds you after your journey has led you to question its existence. In the instant when you honestly believe you’ll never know it, it reveals itself. It comes gently, tenderly like rain in the night. And you wake up one morning to discover that it has been keeping the earth in place among the stars.
