she is you— a love letter in books

my cold hand on her warm thigh silence was our song this woman was something rare the way she created waterfalls on the tips of my fingers ~she is you

maybe I'm your one we are one and the same in search of the same thing in search of one another ~she is you

put your love on top of any mountain and I will climb it drop your love into the ocean and I will find it this is my love for you ~she is you

don't forget about your magic, baby don't forget about the many battles you've survived the many obstacles you've broken through don't forget about your ability to see beyond your obstructed view right now the only one who can provide what you deserve is you. ~she is you

you are the owner of my heart ~she is you

she's beautiful me, watching her lips as she breathes through I lean in closer just to whisper "I love you" ~she is you

haven't you noticed you're more like the sunrise not everyone will see value in your presence not everyone will wake up early enough to appreciate the sight of you and that's okay your light is not for everyone ~she is you

she was a giver she had the biggest heart she was affectionate she was often taken for granted she was the one who felt as if she loved too hard she was the one picking up the pieces of her own heart in hopes of starting over now she's the one who will wear my ring ~she is you

paint me into your future, my love let me spend whatever time I have left with you, in your embrace our faces touching, the points of our noses colliding with ease your eyes are closed but mine are open your eyes are closed but mine are open I don't want to shut them in fear of missing something that I should see paint me into your future until we're old and gray our skin wrinkled by time the time I thought I'd lose before you entered the picture paint me paint you paint us, please ~she is you

I am a solar system with crashing comets and star clusters And in all my pieces she exists I can feel her so strongly it's like I am not me anymore Like all my pieces belong to her ~she is you

I know life isn't always about bright colors and fireworks Sometimes the colors aren't always clear and our days get so hard they hurt But settle down with me, hold my hand, let me kiss you All I want is to know you more Better than anyone else has before ~she is you

the most beautiful words are the words you fear to say the words you have trouble saying because you can feel them rather than voice them So when u ask me "why do u love me" I go silent because the reason cant fit under specific words These unsaid words are felt rather than said ~she is you

my heart belongs to you I know its not easy loving someone like me I have a certain type of tint to my soul which makes it more difficult for others to see inside I lives most of my life as a madman, doing whatever I want But I also believe I am obsessed with the details of the things that I'm passionate about like dragons, sky, guitar, world, space and beyond and this may explain why I obsess over you why I choose you tomorrow makes 19 years on earth for me and today it will make 19 years on earth for you and in all my life I've never known something so beautiful and precious in all my life I've never seen such beauty in one person in a world which I see corrupted and broken but beautiful at the same time where many has disappointed me you are the one person that I been with in my life who has never let me down I'm grateful for our union as a couple and our partnership in life ~she is you

i can't believe your cold hands can bring so much warmth to my heart ~she is you

i can't believe i met someone like you even after what I've been through ~she is you

family can mean anyone you're willing to fight for ~you're my family now anything you need I'll always be here for you ~she is you

I'm not sure what love is cause my mind has fooled me before but if this is what I think it is then I'm in love with you ~she is you

i wish i could freeze time and be in this moment with you all my life ~she is you

roses are red violets are blue and I think I'm in love with you ~she is you

even if you broke my heart into tiny little pieces i'd still never talk shit about you ~there's none to say it's you it's always been you it's really all about who's the last one on your mind before you go to sleep ~it's always you i'm watching you sleep and now I know what angels look like when they rest their wings ~she is you

you deserve more you deserve the whole world wrapped in tissue and a bow for just breathing this air and being a glorious sight to see on this earth i stare into space when I'm with you you ask me what I'm thinking I'll smile and say nothing let me let you in on a little secret I'm thinking of you I'm in love with you and my anxiety is making it hard for me to admit I'm sorry you probably think something is wrong but my mouth isn't allowing those three words out of my mouth it's true i really do love you ~it's never too much I love you ~she is you

relationships are like building a house together there are little fights big fights agreements happiness and when the house is finished that's like marriage after it's done you both will make minor renovations or large ones and you'll live in that house hopefully for the rest of your lives when you smile my heart just fills up with joy love is when you run out of things to do yet you never grow bored of one another ~I hope we never ~she is you

Love me to the bone beneath the nerves beyond my mistakes beneath my veins Love me entirely I'm not perfect I have many flaws and you put up with me regardless in appreciation for all that you do and all that you represent in my life I give you my truth and loyalty I give you my effort and my time I love everything about you the way you cry and laugh and smile when you're genuinely happy the way you show concern and care for those who are close to your heart and your strength there is nothing more beautiful than a human who continues to fight despite the chaos and madness that surrounds you in many ways than one I admire you, my baby ~she is you

One day it wont hurt as much as it does now sometime in near future day to day it'll get easier the nights won't feel so lonely the morning won't be so damn difficult your heart may ache now but there's power in pain and you're just getting stronger I love you and what that means is that I promise to be better than what you had I promise to give you something that is completely different than what you've known I trust my ups and downs in the palms of her hands and I'm overjoyed to experience a world where we've found each other ~she is you

it's late the moon sits alone in darkness like you like us we meet here to fill each other's void through different places the feeling is mutual staring into the our videocall the screen of my laptop displays you like moving art emotion in motion as you curl then arch I'm in awe of the artistry miles away but right in front of me can't touch but we feel each other my eyes like heavy palms resting on your waist as I watch you you watch me... wish you were here Give me a love that isn't shaken by an argument or disagreement give me a love that doesn't die because of time ~she is you

woke up and the first thing I did was check my phone for a message "goodmorning baby" baby, remain still and be patient you'll never have to chase someone who wants to stay you'll never have to compete for the time of someone who thinks you're important if they want you they'll make an effort if the love... I love you I'll give you effort show you give you everything messy and imperfect but beautiful ~she is you

I know life is short and our moment here is limited there's not enough time to find all the things you want but I do hope that you reach all the things your heart deserves Nervousness subdued while holding you anxiety dissipates as you smile my peace now lives in our moments together as your existence continues to build bridges towards joy and even though I'm holding you you're actually carrying me ~she is you

Beneath the azure sky, where ocean meets the shore, I found a love so pure, I'll forevermore implore. Her eyes, like stars that shine, a universe untold, Her heart, a treasure trove, more precious than gold. Her laughter, music to my ears, a sweet melody, Her touch, a gentle breeze, setting my soul free. With every passing day, my love for her grows deep, A bond unbreakable, a love I'll always keep. She is my sunshine, my guiding star, my everything, With her by my side, I'll face whatever life may bring. So let's cherish this love, forevermore it'll stay, For she is my love, my life, my everything, my way. ~She is you. The faceless girl of my dreams, Has a face now ~She is you

I have named her my queen. There might be taller ones than her There might be purer ones than her There might be lovelier than her. But She is my queen. That is for sure When she go through the streets no one recognizes her. No one sees her crystal crown, no one looks at the carpet of red gold that she tread followed by her steps the nonexistent carpet. And when she appear all the rivers sound in my body, bells shake the sky, and a hymn fills the world. Now its only me and her In our own world we build ~she is her ~she is you

When I cannot look at her face I look at her lips. lips of soft curves, her delicate little lips. I know that they speak for her, and that her tender words are born from them. her smile and her whispers, the deep crimson of her mouth, the way she part them to laugh, her sweet, gentle voice that has just kissed the air, her wide, rosy lips, her delicate murmurs, my little universe. But I love her lips only because they whispered to the skies and to the stars, until they found me. ~she is you

the necessity to protect you overcame me i love her too much to remain quiet as you weep watch me rise to kiss the poison out of her i will resist the temptation of my tired feet and keep marching with tomorrow in one hand and a fist in the other i will carry you to freedom ~she is you

Alone in bed her image clearly comes I can see her long hair, feel it smooth to the touch of my palms. Counting down days When its real ~she is you You left impressions unforgettable and when I view our moon your image surfaces and that love seems forever. ~she is you The white star at twilight is fair, and the sky clears at the day's end, but she is more fair to me, more dear to me, she is my heart's friend, its peace ~she is you

I want to be with someone who dreams of doing everything in life, and nothing on a rainy Sunday afternoon. ~she is you I promise to live a life with her so rich of love that at the end I will not be so shy of death. ~she is you

Does the sun promise to shine? No, but it will— even behind the darkest clouds, and no promise will make it shine longer or brighter for that is its fate, to burn until it can burn no more. To love her is not my promise but my fate since the beginning— to burn for you until I can burn no more. ~she is you

I have never felt like I'm Wasting time with her. We could sit in silence for hours And it would still feel soo full And good and necessary Not even a sweat drop wasted I'm so thankful for her ~she is you

I met her And then suddenly Everything became better. Lows never left alone, Highs that soar higher than I'd ever known. The flowers smell sweeter, The breeze feels cooler, And the moon glows brighter, Like it's sharing in this quiet joy. Suddenly, sunsets burst with meaning, And color the world in ways I never understood. Coming from a guy who never really knew Why people stargaze or chase sunsets— But now I know why. It's because when you find the one, Everything in life feels like it's glowing, Even the stars and sunsets shine just for you two. ~she is you

I like being alone But that is why i know she is different Because for the first time ever She got me feenin for her company ~she is you The most beautiful part is I wasn't even looking When i found her Again ~she is you

I will love her As long as the sun burns In the sky As long as the moon Sins its light Into the the dark night, Until the raging Blue ocean becomes Calm and run dry. I will love her till the end of time And thereafter ~she is you

She is beautiful, Not just in the way of body or face, But specially in the way the moon is beautiful In its darkest hour. ~she is you And as I sat and looked at her and the white beach she sat upon I thought, what amazing luck I have that the world had created such beautiful things and given me the eyes to see them. ~she is you She collapsed in tonto me just once Slight mistake on her side maybe But i promise She'll never have to fall again ~she is you

Her fingers entwined Slowly with mine And suddenly Life made sense ~she is you The words never meant much that's not how I loved, it was when she stroked my hair And kissed my forehead when she thought I was asleep that I knew she really did. ~she is you We were strange in love her and I too wild to last, too rare to die. ~she is you

She chased Away my demons With the stars in her eyes ~she is you She is the reason why My world finally make sense ~she is you

I see her in every corner Of every place we have never been My eyes are a vessel her soul lives in Her face is like braille her mind is my skin ~She is you Im filling these blank pages for her Like the way She filled the emptiness i had She was the when darkness was above me She was the as my star and as my moon She cleaned up my wounds and scars ~she is you

her voice could calm the ocean to sleep ~she is you Art has always found a way to speak to my heart and she have been my favourite piece. ~she is you Our souls had conversation That words could never describe ~she is you

In the garden of my heart, a rose blooms bright, Her petals soft and sweet, bathed in morning light. A fragrance fills the air, love's gentle scent, A bond forever cherished, a gift heaven-sent. ~She is you. Her eyes, windows to her soul, reveal kindness rare, A smile that warms my heart, dispelling every care. In her embrace, I find comfort from the storm, A love that guides me gently, keeping my spirit warm. ~She is you.

Like summer rain, her love flows, setting my spirit free, Her laughter fills the air, a joyful symphony. With her, I see my future, a life full of delight, Hand in hand, we walk our path, our hearts forever bright. ~She is you. In the tapestry of life, she is the golden thread, Weaving through my heart, a love that will never fade. Her presence, a constant comfort, a source of endless grace, Her beauty, a masterpiece, etched upon my face. With every shared moment, our bond grows ever strong, A love that transcends time, a melody, a song. So let us cherish this gift, this treasure we have found, For she is my heart's desire, my love, my solid ground. ~She is you.

In the quiet of the night, when stars begin to gleam, I think of her, my love, my sweet and cherished dream. Her image fills my mind, a vision of pure delight, Her love, a guiding star, shining ever so bright. With every passing day, my heart grows ever fonder, For she is my soulmate, my confidante, my wonder. So let us hold on tight, to this love that we possess, For she is my everything, my happiness, my endless bliss. ~She is you.

The flowers envied her and so did the sun so rare, so beautiful a grand representation of what a woman should always be she means everything to me she is you ~she is you

She has passion a reckless devotion a loyalty that's unbreakable and a truth that's unapologetic she is love in the deepest form so beautiful, extremely rare she is everything she needs to be in search of all that she deserves she is you ~she is you

The stars blink as they watched her carefully jealous of the way she shines. ~she is you She is the love at first sight to the blind man in the dark cave. ~she is you

Here we go again, I hope u love it Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmwah ~she is you

Her Presence quiets my busy mind and calms my tired heart. ~she is you

I wonder How is it possible That a guy with my faults My habits, my mistakes and sins can still be loved by an angel like her I love her so much ~she is you

I understand that she may not believe me when I say that "you'll be okay", and she might think no one understand your pain or cannot empathize with you. But I want her to know that these thoughts are not true. Instead, I want to tell her this: she will get through today, one step at a time simply taking breaths. Putting one foot in front of the other, and making even the slightest progress, she will make it to the bedtime tonight and there I will be waiting for her. waiting to listen about her day and her awesome accomplishment and I hope I can make her journey of the day become easier and make her mornings less heavy and her heart lighter. Because I believe that that is my purpose in her life and my responsibility for her. But I don't do it just because of it being something I am supposed to do. I do it because I want to. If I could I'll cover her heart with blanket and hide it so nothing can hurt her because I love her more than I can show. ~she is you

I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I promise to live every tomorrow inspired to see our love story unfold to one another ~she is you I will spend my whole life trying to give her the love she should have always received she deserves it all ~she is you

To be honest I always considers myself to be the luckiest person alive having her by my side moving through life with her has been the greatest gift ever given to me and I don't know what I ever did to deserve someone as incredible as her ~she is you When I look at photos of her or read her texts I wonder what I did to deserve her It's hard to comprehend that I found her when I wasn't even looking and that she stayed when I wasn't even expecting it. ~she is you

I could search the whole world and never find another like her she is irreplaceable and incomparable ~she is you I have late night conversation with my heart and brain. about her I don't know if she will understand what I mean but I want her to know it's like the moon telling me about the sun and I tell him about her ~she is you

For her I wouldn't mind being the bird outside her window or her pet bird as long as my songs made her happy I wouldn't mind being the moon if my light would bring her peace or the rain lulling her to sleep if I could carry her into magical dream ~she is you She is my first and I don't mean my first kiss or my first relationship or my first I love you she is the first person who makes me feel like my thoughts actually matter and the first one to show me what I love you actually mean ~she is you

I can't wait to live my life with her I can't wait to eat takeout with her 2am after our thing cosy on the bed. I can't wait to stare out the window at the rain with her while drinking coffee I can't wait to experience everything with her. even the small things seem like an adventure when she is by my side. ~she is you

They say everything is a reflection of light and if that's the case then she is the reflection that has no shadows a combination of the prettiest lights that exist or even maybe she is a reflection from a light so beautiful that it only shines on her ~she is you

As long as I am alive she will always have someone who is proud of her in everything. I know this might be hard to believe and I am sorry I make her feel that way there are things I don't like I just don't want to risk us or I don't want her to go away I want her to be with me always. I try hard to show her how much I want her everyday how much I need her everyday now I can't survive without her she is my greatest accomplishment and the only precious thing in my life my only trophy that is specially mine. I can't let her go ~she is you

When I met her It wasn't her eyes that made me fall in love with her not her smile not her body not her beautiful face it was her heart A heart that I knew I'd never see again that's what made her so beautiful to me ~she is you The way she dresses every day is the least of her outfit no one can wear a smile like hers ~she is you

Even if I had a chance to do everything in my life all over again and to change it there is nothing I would change whatever happened in my life even the lows and the pain led me to her. ~she is you No matter the lifetimes it'll always be her ~she is you She was as gentle as a rose, as delicate as a daisy as warm as a sunflower and more beautiful than any flower ~she is you

she is a special woman a diamond surrounded by pearls a diamond out of this galaxy ~she is you I thank God for allowing me and her to live in the same lifetime , bringing me to this world right after you and bringing us together it is more than a fictional story even if it sounds like one it's a real love story with endless chapters. ~she is you

It's beautiful the way she showed up in this world, unguarded and willing to try again, despite all the ways it has tried to defeat her. But she remained strong despite the inner battles she fights despite the struggles she has experienced for so long. I don't know how she thinks she is weak all I see is the opposite, she is strong, brave, loving, kind words can't show how beautiful she is and unbelievably she is mine, and I will protect her no matter what ~she is you She doesn't need a dress to be a princess she doesn't need a crown to be queen All she needed was love, and with that beautiful smile and eyes and herself she can be anything and she is my beautiful lady ~she is you

From the moment I saw her I knew this one was worth the broken heart. ~she is you She is incandescently beautiful and beauty is the least of her. ~she is you

the night time is so silent I feel so calm even when we have big ego and not talking but I'm here just writing poems about her ~she is you it's really all about who's the last one on your mind before you go to sleep. ~it's always her ~she is you

I can't believe her hands can bring so much warmth to me heart. ~she is you

I can't believe I met someone like her even after what I've been through. I'm hoping she feels the same way ~she is you

I don't know what love is cause my mind has fooled me before, but if this is what I think it is then, I'm in love with her ~she is you

they all ask me where do you see yourself in ten years? I honestly don't know because a year ago I wouldn't see myself here happy in love with ______ ~she is you

she jumped off the plank and dived in with the sharks little did they know a small weak girl like her had a heart and the sharks in the water were nothing compared to the ones swimming in the depths of her thoughts spoiler- she lived ~she is you

I can't believe your cold hands can bring so much warmth to me heart. ~she is you

I can't believe I met someone like her even after what I've been through. I'm hoping she feels the same way ~she is you

love is more than just a four letter word. love Luv. [noun] the little library session before we went to lay on the rocks the beach where we adventured the corner of the beach with my favourite view are all great places we've been but my favourite place is anywhere with her. ~she is you

Hahaha jokes on you I already know the answer to the question I asked U done all that u stayed by my side I thank God and all the angels for sending me you So, thank you I love you forever AND THAT'S WHY U CAN'T ESCAPE ~she is you

My dear baby I know this is not a lot but I cantt doo this all the time and I didn't have much time too so sorry its short. I love you and I hope you enjoy this one too. U better do next one I give might take a long time Ummmwah ~she is you

my cold hand on her warm thigh silence was our song this woman was something rare the way she created waterfalls on the tips of my fingers ~she is you

maybe I'm your one we are one and the same in search of the same thing in search of one another ~she is you

put your love on top of any mountain and I will climb it drop your love into the ocean and I will find it this is my love for you ~she is you

don't forget about your magic, baby don't forget about the many battles you've survived the many obstacles you've broken through don't forget about your ability to see beyond your obstructed view right now the only one who can provide what you deserve is you. ~she is you

You are the owner of my heart. ~she is you

she's beautiful me, watching her lips as she breathes through I lean in closer just to whisper "I love you" ~she is you

haven't you noticed you're more like the sunrise not everyone will see value in your presence not everyone will wake up early enough to appreciate the sight of you and that's okay your light is not for everyone ~she is you

she was a giver she had the biggest heart she was affectionate she was often taken for granted she was the one who felt as if she loved too hard she was the one picking up the pieces of her own heart in hopes of starting over now she's the one who will wear my ring ~she is you

paint me into your future, my love let me spend whatever time I have left with you, in your embrace our faces touching, the points of our noses colliding with ease your eyes are closed but mine are open your eyes are closed but mine are open I don't want to shut them in fear of missing something that I should see paint me into your future until we're old and gray our skin wrinkled by time the time I thought I'd lose before you entered the picture paint me paint you paint us, please ~she is you

I am a solar system with crashing comets and star clusters And in all my pieces she exists I can feel her so strongly it's like I am not me anymore Like all my pieces belong to her ~she is you

I know life isn't always about bright colors and fireworks Sometimes the colors aren't always clear and our days get so hard they hurt But settle down with me, hold my hand, let me kiss you All I want is to know you more Better than anyone else has before ~she is you

I spend half the morning thinking about your phonecall and when we were up all night talking How I felt the effect of your words on my heart I lie in bed and I think of you I know you come with baggage but so do I I know you're scared because of how others treated you But as the sun rises and sets I'm falling in love with all the things you do ~she is you

my cold hand on her warm thigh silence was our song this woman was something rare the way she created waterfalls on the tips of my fingers ~she is you

maybe I'm your one we are one and the same in search of the same thing in search of one another ~she is you

she is the reason i finally learn the difference between being held and being home the way her shoulder fits against my ribs is alchemy i never understood ~she is you

we were strangers three months ago she was a rumor i told my mirror about the way she would answer back in my voice she was a rumor i lived inside the way her eyes would flicker on the screen of my phone when i pretended to look away ~she is you

i don't write poems i just leave little breadcrumbs of myself around her so she can follow them back to where she left her heart on my nightstand in the shape of a question mark ~she is you

her handwriting on a napkin last tuesday i still carry it like a prayer i almost said i love you but she beat me to the silence and filled it with her name ~she is you

sometimes i wake up and forget which parts of the day were real and which parts were dreams built from the way she hums while cooking the way the steam rises from her tea in the morning straight toward my heart ~she is you

i have late night conversations with my ribs they keep singing the song she wrote in the language she learned just for me the language between silence and sighing ~she is you

her voice could calm the ocean to sleep art has always found a way to speak to my heart and she have been my favourite piece ~she is you

she asked me why my eyes go soft when she walks into a room i almost said because you do but then i saw her smile at the barista and the whole coffee shop brightened up ~she is you

if i build an observatory just to show you that all the stars in the universe will never shine as brightly as her then you'd see why i keep counting the minutes between us the way some people count breath s ~she is you

Every morning before the world has any right to ask anything of us, she makes coffee. Just that. Just the quiet sound of it and the smell that fills the room before I’ve even opened my eyes. I have decided that is what love is — not the grand gestures, but the cup that is always there when I reach for it. ~she is you

Two years. Two years of knowing every version of each other — the easy ones and the ones we are not proud of. And still she stays. Not out of habit. Not out of obligation. She stays the way the tide stays — because it has nowhere else it would rather be. ~she is you

She handles her own things. She always has. There is a quiet power in her that does not announce itself, does not ask for applause, just moves through the world getting done what needs to be done. I watch her and I think: I married someone who does not need me to complete her. She chose me. That is a different thing entirely. And it is everything. ~she is you

I fight sleep some nights just to watch her. The way she curls into herself, the way her breathing slows to something that sounds like trust. I have seen beautiful things. Sunsets. Skylines. Still water. None of them have made me feel what I feel watching her rest. ~she is you

Life came at us hard. More downs than either of us had budgeted for. There were months that felt like they had too many days in them. But I never once looked across the room and wished it was someone else. She made the hard parts survivable. She made them ours. ~she is you

We have fought. Let’s not pretend otherwise. We have said things in the dark that we had to walk back in the light. But every time, every single time, we chose each other over being right. That is not weakness. That is the hardest thing two people can do — stay in the room and finish the conversation. ~she is you

She would not describe herself as cute. She would laugh at the word. But she has not seen what I see — the way her face goes soft when she is asleep, like every responsibility she carries has been gently set down for just a few hours. She is most herself in those moments. I am most in love in those moments. ~she is you

Marriage is not what they show you. It is grocery lists and tired evenings and learning how to apologise properly. It is coffee before speaking. It is the argument that ends with both of you laughing at yourselves. It is ordinary. It is relentlessly ordinary. And I love it more than anything I have ever known. ~she is you

The year was not kind to us. Most of them haven’t been. But she sat with me in every room I couldn’t leave. She didn’t fix it. She didn’t try to. She just stayed until the walls felt a little less close. That is what I needed. Someone who knew that presence is its own kind of saving. ~she is you

Some people pray first thing in the morning. I watch her make coffee. Both are acts of devotion. Both are how you say: today matters, this life matters, I am here and I intend to be. ~she is you

She is not the kind of woman who gives up easily. I know this because I was not easy to love, and she loved me anyway. Not blindly. She saw every flaw and decided the whole was still worth it. That kind of grace does not come around twice. I know that. I hold onto it. ~she is you

Two years sounds small until you count the mornings. Until you count every cup of coffee, every night we argued and stayed anyway, every ordinary Tuesday that became extraordinary just because she was in it. Count those. It’s not small. It’s a life. ~she is you

She handles her work the way she handles everything — quietly, completely, without making a show of it. I have never told her how much I admire that. I should tell her more. How watching her be good at her life makes me want to be better at mine. ~she is you

We are not perfect at this. No one is. But we have made a habit of finding our way back. Every time the distance grows between us, something in both of us refuses it. We close the gap. We always close the gap. I think that is what vows actually mean — not that you won’t lose each other, but that you’ll always go looking. ~she is you

The house is quiet and she is asleep and I am awake doing what I always do — memorising her. The shape of her breathing. The way her hand rests open like she is waiting for something good. I hope I am part of what she’s waiting for. I hope I always am. ~she is you

They say marriage takes work. They don’t tell you what kind. It is not glamorous work. It is the work of choosing patience when you are exhausted. Of choosing kindness when the day has taken everything. Of choosing her on the days choosing anything feels impossible. She does that work too. She has never once stopped. ~she is you

I used to not understand why people needed routines. Then I married her. Now I understand. Coffee in the morning is not about coffee. It is about something that holds. Something that says: yesterday happened and we are still here, and today is beginning. ~she is you

She does not talk about it much — the weight she carries. She handles her days and her work and her worries with a steadiness I have spent two years trying to learn from. I am still learning. She is still teaching me without knowing it. ~she is you

We have been through enough to break people. We are not broken. Bent, maybe. Rearranged. But not broken. And I think the reason is simpler than I sometimes admit: we refused to let go at the same time. One of us always held. Usually her. ~she is you

She is you. ~she is you

I think about her the way a lighthouse thinks about the sea — always searching, always hoping the waves come home. ~she is you

She happened to me the way rain happens to a drought — all at once and exactly when I needed it most. ~she is you

I have been trying to describe her to people who haven’t seen her. And I keep failing. Not because the words don’t exist — they do. It’s just that the moment I open my mouth to say her name, the sentence forgets itself. That’s the kind of person she is. She makes language run out of room. ~she is you

My favourite version of any day is the version that has her in it. ~she is you

If I had to name the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard, I wouldn’t name a song. I’d name the way she laughs when something catches her off guard — unguarded, unpolished, completely hers. ~she is you

There are people who enter your life and rearrange all the furniture in your chest. She did that. And now everything fits better than before. ~she is you

She is the only person I can sit in silence with and still feel like a conversation is happening — somewhere deeper than words. ~she is you

I used to think love was something you fall into. But with her, it felt more like waking up — slow and quiet and suddenly everything was clear. ~she is you

People always say you can’t love someone before you love yourself. But she taught me both at the same time. She loved me so clearly I finally understood what I was worth. ~she is you

I want to grow old in the direction of her. I want all my years to point that way. ~she is you

Some nights I catch myself just watching her exist — the way she holds her cup, the way she stares at nothing but you can tell her mind is full of everything. I could do that forever. Watch her live. And feel lucky for it. ~she is you

She carries so much and asks for so little. That breaks my heart and heals it at the same time. I hope I am becoming someone worthy of being her place to rest. ~she is you

I am not good at many things. But I am extraordinarily good at choosing her. Every single day. Without hesitation. ~she is you

She is not the answer to all my questions. But she is the reason I stopped being afraid of the ones I couldn’t answer. ~she is you

She asked me once if she was enough. And I wanted to tell her — it’s the wrong question. The right one is: Am I enough to hold all the beautiful things that she is? ~she is you

There are galaxies that have been burning for a billion years for no particular reason. I think I understand them now. I would burn just to light up the room she walks into. ~she is you

She does this thing where she underestimates herself. And I do this thing where I spend entire days trying to show her what I see. ~she is you

I have loved her in every weather. In her brightness and her storms. In the mornings she woke up easy and the nights she needed to be held. There is no version of her I have not wanted. All of them are hers. All of them are mine to love. ~she is you

If the ocean had a favourite shore it keeps returning to — that is her. I will always find my way back. ~she is you

I do not need forever to feel certain. I just need her. And with her, forever becomes easy to imagine. ~she is you

She worries too much about whether she is loved enough. And I lie awake at night worrying I have not yet found a way to make her feel it — completely, all the way down, in the parts of her that forgot they deserve it. ~she is you

Let me be the proof that someone can stay and mean it. ~she is you

On the days she doesn’t feel beautiful, I want her to remember the way strangers look at her when she doesn’t notice. The way a room shifts when she enters it. The way even quiet places feel a little more alive with her in them. ~she is you

She is gentle with everyone but herself. I am slowly teaching her to be her own kindness. She is learning. ~she is you

The gravity between us is not dramatic. It is not the kind of love that breaks things. It is the quiet kind — the kind that keeps you in orbit without you even noticing you’ve been circling her your entire life. ~she is you

She is the first person I have wanted to be better for not because she asked me to — but because she made me want to. ~she is you

I am terrified sometimes. Not of losing her — though that fear lives in me too. But terrified of a version of my life where I never found her. That universe feels unliveable to me. ~she is you

She is the reason I believe in the good kind of lucky. ~she is you

Her courage is quiet. She does not announce her battles. She just shows up again the next morning, eyes still soft, heart still open. That is the bravest thing I have ever witnessed. ~she is you

She doesn’t know how much light she carries. But the people around her do. I do. ~she is you

When I imagine the best possible future, she is there every single time. Not as a backdrop. As the whole point. ~she is you

I want to take her to every place I’ve ever loved and love those places all over again through her eyes. ~she is you

She was made from the parts of the world that refused to be ordinary — the hour before sunrise, the last note of a song, the calm after the storm breaks. All the things that stop you and make you breathe. That is what she is made of. ~she is you

There is no word for what it feels like when she chooses me. Every time. Every day. Without making it feel like a choice at all. ~she is you

I will spend the rest of my life making sure she never regrets choosing me back. ~she is you

It will always be her. It was always her. ~she is you
