I adore you in ways I cannot put into words.
Yet we try…
The feeling of opening the door and seeing the smile blossom from your cheeks to bloom atop your lips warms the frozen waters of my heart. With it I will make you all your morning coffees.
I know all my moments with you are the memories of Golden Years in days to come, but I know I will never have to look back, because I will have never left them. The future is bright, for I can finally see the light I have been missing. I feel you growing brighter every day.
I can see the cobwebs in my corners and long to seek them out. You give me extra hands to help without ever feeling fear of getting sticky, or of being judged. I do not envy you, but I walk alongside and learn with joy. I am honoured by your presence and feel proud you grace me with it.
Your steps leave colourful growths stretching into life from barren earth. Your feet, though small, carry the weight of perfection without a slip or stumble. They move you so flawlessly through the air, as though the molecules therein are too frightened to offend, and so part, allowing you to slip through without struggle. Home sweet home in the edge of existence.
For you are so out of this world.
From our rotten timbers may we build our home and listen to it creak and groan every night. All the while we will hold hands and know that it’s our own. And it is sturdy. And when it falls and crushes us to death, we will still be holding hands, happy to have spent the time without ever receiving change; for they were gifts to each other, and regret is for the guilty.
I will take you everywhere I go. Wear you as paper lining the walls within my heart.
Forever yours.
