To be a woman is to be unapologetically resilient despite everything.

~~~ 

In you, I found my light,
in you, I found my soul, 
and in you, I found myself again.

I always yearned for love,
yearned for peace,
and yearned for you.

Some claim to love me, 
and some to protect me.
Some claim to guide me,
and some to enlighten me.

But none were like you.

You were a shadow,
an invisible one - the one whose presence I knew lingered around me,
the one who was always by my side;
you were not always there, yet you were always present.

You were my life before I knew it.

A part of me,
etched and carved in the deepest part of my soul.

You are my soul.

You am I, and I am you.

You are my life and my salvation.
Oh, Krishna, who am I without you?
This soul yearns for you, and I shall wait till you take me with you again.

This princess awaits your arrival.

She awaits you,
and she awaits her soul
