I believe in time,
In maturity,
In the slow dance between trauma and trust.
Maybe we don’t fix each other.
Maybe we just hold space while the healing happens.

-

Still;
maybe some bridges are meant to burn
just to light the way back to ourselves and find reason to do a little introspection forgetting that something’s are really out of our control.

Tell me:
If regret speaks in poems and lessons wear disguises,are we truly learning,
or are we just fighting a losing battle?

-

I won’t pretend it’s been easy.
There’s no simple way forward,
only the hard way,
the aching way.
The way that means carrying you with me even as I learn to let go.
But I won’t forget you, you are in every song that stirs something deep.

I miss you beyond what words can say and today
On your first birthday in heaven,
I pray you are wrapped in light!
Dancing among the stars,
smiling down on us!

-

Perhaps love is not just the desperate fight to hold on; but the quiet acceptance of letting go.
Maybe love was never meant to save someone from leaving, but to prepare them for when they do.
Love with intent and not desperation , that way you may carry it where ever you choose to go.

-

I pray I never stop being consistent in the small things, just as you are.
And if ever I lack, if ever I forget, teach me. So we can always find our way back to each other.

-

I know I annoy you sometimes with the way I refuse to be anything but soft with you.
The way I let love make a fool of me in the best ways. But I won’t stop. I won’t hold back.

You bring out the child in me, the part that still believes in wonder, so why would I ever be ashamed of that?
It’s fine. You’ll act annoyed, but the second you turn away, I know your heart will smile before your lips do.
That smirk never lasts.

-

I want to bring you back to the kind of love you knew as a child.
To remind you of a time when joy was simple, kindness was instinct, and love was just there without question.
A time when love didn’t have to be complicated to be real.
I want to be the place where you feel that safe again.

-

I want to love you in the spaces that often go unnoticed.
In the way the morning light settles on your face.
In the sound of your laughter when you think no one is listening.
In the moments between moments, where love isn’t loud but constant. So that even on the days you don’t like me, you’ll never doubt that I love you.

-

I wake up some nights And I feel her there,
Lying in the space between us.
You say no one knows you like I do,
But every time you kiss me,
I wonder if she’s still hiding in the back of your mind.

-

I miss those incomplete kisses I’d pull away from, pretending I was too grown to need them. You didn’t say “I love you” often, but you showed it in everything you were and in everything that you did!
