The tattoo you never got

There’s one you already know.

You don’t need to look for it.
It’s been there for years, postponed.

Maybe you were waiting for the right moment.

Maybe you weren’t sure about the artist.

Maybe you were afraid of what it would really mean to do it.

The tattoos you never got say something that the ones you have cannot.

A place, a season, afeeling you couldn’t explain yet, a wound.

Something you no longer are.

But there’s a difference between what you’ve let go and what you’re still waiting on.
One feels closed. The other still feels open.

The open one isn’t waiting for the right moment.
It’s waiting for you to stop waiting.

You already know which one it is.

You’ve always known.
