i just hope one day you find a person who makes the world feel a little lighter. someone who helps you discover the little joys you may not have gotten to have when you were younger..and who never makes you feel embarrassed for finding happiness in simple, childlike things.
i hope they hold your face in their hands and give you gentle kisses across your cheeks and the tip of your nose and tell you they’re proud of you. not because you’ve earned it..but because they see how hard you’ve tried. how far you’ve come.
and i hope they dance with you for no reason, and make you laugh so much your stomach hurts..and meet that softness you have with their own. that they never make you feel small for needing reassurance, or affection or gentle words.
that they make sure you understand that those needs aren’t burdens, they’re just places where love gets to show up.
on swing sets, and slow dances in the kitchen, and stargazing on a trampoline.
