I once was a pardoner raising a palace in the ignorant's fear. I once was a crumpled map. Lost in the manner of reading myself, I had to figure out the way. I once was a waterman sailing in the lightest seas. I could tell you now what it is to be somewhere nobody knows. But I never had the chance to be loved. I once was a messenger singing my thoughts with a traveling band. I once was an astrolabe letting the stars and the sun decide the moment of the day. I once was a sorcerer burned for my medicines. I could tell you now what it is to be born with a million lives. But I never had the chance to be loved. I have seen the things you see. I have spoke the words you speak. I have walked the roads you walk a thousand times. I have learned the things you learn. I have met the ones you meet. For the first time of my life, will I ever feel Your love?
