I sit in the dark with her breath warm on my lap
Watching the way sleep softens her face
I have never seen beauty like this
I have fallen for her so hard
Words scatter in my mouth
She is breathtaking
I write letters in the hush
Pages for her to find when she wakes
My thoughts curling around her like a blanket
I wonder to myself; “How did I finally find my forever?”
Just after midnight she wakes and texts me
“Babe, you moved me to tears, your letter. I felt you in every word. I haven’t been this happy in forever.”

How did we become strangers?
Inside the story we wrote together
Why weren’t my words, my hands, my hope Enough to keep her close?
I love her so deeply, she will never know
She’s gone now, moved on from us
But I am still here
Lying awake revisiting April nights
When she was the answhere to every silent question I ever asked the dark
The night i wrote a letter in the dark for her to wake to was the night I fallen completely in love with her. I am so thankful for the opportunity to love like this.
