Today, I want to tell you about a girl and a boy and beating the odds.
Today, I want to tell you of the 6th floor apartment and french window sills. Of lemon tea made out of iced tea powder and of wearing no shoes in the house. Of pure, unadulterated love. The one that's independent of everything.
Today, I want to tell you of two people who met and had a story to tell. A story of meeting against the odds, of gentle kisses, of heartbreaking distance and of never ending reunion hugs. A story that is young and old and everything in the middle, and so contradictory to every belief they held valuable.
Today, I want to tell you of harmless lies and second chances. And third and fourth and fifth ones. And the kind of love that forgives. The one that's selfless and giving.
Today, I want to tell you about the stubble, the tickle of which, feels wonderful. Of shirts with the first button undone. Of goodbyes and promises to come back. And a little bit of heartbreak, once in a while, for all the right reasons.
Today, I want to tell you about roadtrips to the mountains, and all the mist in the air above them. And how all the best moments I can think of, have you in them.
Today, I want to tell you of poems. The ones that reiterate our faith in glorious endings and perfect tomorrows, no matter how testing present seems.
Love,
P.
