i love you in ways
that stretch beyond the horizon
where shadows touch light softly
and whispers bloom into worlds
i love you like the quiet ache
of morning yearning for the sun
like the moon cradles the ocean\'s sigh
and every star stitches the night
i love you with the breath
that escapes unnoticed between words
with the trembling hands
of someone who has nearly let go
i love you gently and wildly all at once
as rain loves the thirsty earth
dancing in chaos, rooting in steadiness
becoming something more than itself
i love you until my soul bursts
until my ribs bow like open windows
and the air inside me screams your name
even as life turns silent again
i love you–endlessly, weightlessly, fiercely
as if love was the only thing
i was ever meant to do.
