You.
I don’t think I will ever find the right words for you.
Maybe because some people are not meant to be explained.
They are simply felt.
When I first found you, I didn’t know you would become someone I looked for in the middle of ordinary days. I didn’t know your voice would become something I wanted to hear, or that seeing your face could make something inside me feel lighter.
I didn’t know I would grow this fond of you.
You came into my life so quietly, yet somehow, you left so much light behind.
There were the little messages.
The pictures you sent with your happy face.
Your voice.
Your smile.
The small pieces of your life that you unknowingly shared with me.
Maybe they were ordinary things to you.
But to me, they became little reasons to smile.
For a while, I looked forward to you.
I looked for you.
And somehow, the world felt a little more exciting because you were in it.
I think that’s what I want to remember.
Not how deeply I fell.
Not how difficult it became to let go.
Not even how much I miss you sometimes.
But how you reminded me that I could still feel something so purely.
You reminded me that there are beautiful things in this world.
That there are moments worth looking forward to.
That a voice can make a quiet night feel less lonely.

That someone’s smile can somehow make your own appear without asking.
And maybe that is the most beautiful thing you ever gave me.
You made me excited about life again.
I know I cannot keep holding onto you forever.
Some feelings are meant to be carried for a while, then gently placed somewhere safe.
So I am learning to do that with you.
Not because you meant nothing,
but because you meant something.
I don’t want to erase you.
I don’t want to pretend I never cared.
I just want to remember you without needing you to stay.
Maybe your voice won’t make my heart ache.
Maybe I’ll see your face and only feel a quiet kind of gratitude.
And when that day comes,
I hope I will remember you gently.
As someone who once made ordinary days feel beautiful.
As someone who reminded me that my heart could still be excited.
As someone who, without even knowing it,
showed me that there are still beautiful things worth feeling.
You may not stay in my life forever.
But for a little while,
you made my world brighter.
And I think,
for me,
that will always be enough.
Thank you for being a beautiful part of my life.
