All I can do is think about how much I love you. You were like an oxygen tank delivered to me at the peak of a mountain. Otherwise trapped in an altitude I was never meant to survive. Every day without you, The air grows thinner and breathing becomes a burden. I don’t want to lose you only to find you again later. I want to find you inside the pain I feel now, not after it fades into quiet background noise. Dreaming of our future— Both in happiness and hardship I’m homesick like never before. I didn’t know you could be homesick for a person, but when someone becomes the family you choose, when home becomes a person, distance feels unbearable. How do you keep moving without your purpose? The person who inspires you to be the best version of yourself, who makes the mundane feel possible— even adventurous. A catalyst for courage, for the capacity to face life Even when the air begins to thin
