“You were made from the earth,” I whisper to her skin, “I can feel the universe moving through you, and yet you are something else unto yourself. “I never wanted to love a human. I fought you with everything I had. You were everything I shouldn’t want. But then, your compassion pierced me deeper than any blade. “I have felt the earth move, I have felt the grinding of rock as mountains shift and the world changes shape. None of it could prepare me for you. “I love you. Maybe more than all of what I am. And I don’t understand why, but I do. I love you.”
