If I could write a world for you,

I’d paint it in a gentler hue.

Where shadows don’t outgrow the light,
 And stars still shine through every night.

I’d build a place where you could rest,

A quiet harbor in your chest.

Where pain grows small, and hope stands tall,

And you are loved through every fall.

I know you hide behind your eyes, 

Like cloudy days in summer skies.

But love, I see you, clear and true,

No storm could ever darken you.

You speak so soft, yet mean so much

A brush of wind, a healing touch.

And though the world may seem unkind,
There’s light inside your brilliant mind.

You say you’re lost, you say you break

But broken things still hold their shape.

The cracks you fear? They let me see

The strength that blooms so quietly.

And now you leave. two years, no call,

No messages, no texts at all.

But darling, if you ever doubt,

My love for you won’t flicker out.

It burns behind the words I say,

It breathes in every dawn and day.

You’ll be the thought I always keep,

The soul I dream of in my sleep.

So when the dark begins to near,

And no one else seems close or clear

Please hold this letter, read it through,

And know I’m always here for you.
