For Her - Koytooroo
My dearest you,
I wanted to write you something that says "you are my favorite person on this planet".
I love your hair when it's perfect and when it's a mess, when it's hiding your face and when it's framing your eyes. I love your weird little thoughts, the way your brain jumps to strange places and somehow always makes sense to me.
I love how you hit me with those tiny cute hits, like you're annoyed, but your eyes are smiling. I love the way you exist in your own universe, a little off-center and completely, stupidly beautiful.
You act like you don't deserve love sometimes, like you're "too much" or "too strange". But I'm obsessed with you. If love had levels, I'd be stuck on the highest one, permanently.
You don't even realize the quiet ways you change the air around you. How everything feels lighter when you laugh, how calm sneaks in when you're near. I notice the small things you think no one sees, the pauses before you speak, the way you listen like it matters, the softness you hide behind strength.
Loving you isn't loud or forced; it's instinctive, like breathing. Even on the days you doubt yourself, even when the world feels heavy, you are still the person I'd choose, again and again, without hesitation.
If you ever forget how extraordinary you are, I'll be here to remind you, patiently, endlessly, until you believe it too.
With all my love,
someone who loves you
