The thought of you made my heart jump-start, I could feel my heart jump from fifty to one hundred beats in a minute. It made sense because we went together and moved through the day like a good song.

Each pump brought a new life to the love that we had. I never understood butterflies in stomachs until I had to look into your eyes. It wasn’t an upset stomach or just nervousness, it was love.

Love that never wanted to be held back, but wanted to spread into the world like a wildfire. And from that fire came something of a Baker’s globe mallow, a flower that blooms only after the fire.

This new beautiful life was something that awakened me each day with a smile and a thought, the thought was you. Each thought brought new joy into my soul, one that felt beaten and used for years, so I gladly opened up to smile and laugh and live and love.

Something I thought I would never have and yet, you gave me all of that and then some. Thank you for making my heart jump and my soul leap. I wished for the beauty of our love to live forever.
