Life was beautiful before you.
It was simple.
It was full of freedom and exploration.
It was light.
Now there is this weight.
There is a heaviness because I’ve never known that love like this exists and the fear of losing it is too immense.
I’m noticing colors in the sky that I hadn’t cared to look for since childhood.
I’m hearing birds sing to each other on our morning walks I didn’t used to take.
You point out the moon in the morning sky and it’s as if I had forgotten to look up.
Yes, life was beautiful and simple before you, but now it’s vast and spectacular.
