you’re making changes to my mind,
the way i see life is different now.
as my thoughts shift,
so does my heart—
it learns new rhythms with you.
i’ve known sadness most of my days,
but it softens in your presence.
the weight of time,
the heaviness of old wounds,
they disappear when i feel your touch.
my hands miss you,
so does my soul.
i carry you in quiet moments,
in the spaces no one else sees.
you are my secret joy,
my gentle escape,
my lifetime souvenir,
my greatest gift.
i struggle with actual communication,
but you can always reach me
through a pen or a song.
and if writing is the only way i know how to reach you,
then let these words be enough.
you keep the notifications on,
and it tells me you’re listening.
for that, and for you,
i hold you close to my heart—
ms.apple, my lifetime souvenir.
