To love.

I hold tightly to the scent of you, until it’s completely overtaken by the sugary sweet smell of all of me.

I’m incomplete without it.

You are sunshine, smoke and salt, and without you, all my vanilla sugar cookie clouds are just fluff.

You’re my balance.

My better half, the grumble to my giggles.

You make me a better person, because how could I not strive to be as good as you deserve?

You’re my favorite, my best, and the only forever I’ll ever see.

And the world, for all its bad and baffling and bizarre, is still good and kind and warm, because you are in it.

You are all the words I’ve ever found, and all the words I cannot form. You’re every love song ever written, and the reason there is always a song in my heart.

I can’t say it enough, and I’m incapable of saying it to the full extent it lives in my soul, because there aren’t words that go that deep.

So I’ll just say I love you.

❤️
