I can't believe it's your birthday already, it just feels like yesterday that you had your last one. The time flies by so quickly in this fast paced world but you are a firm constant in this abudance of variables that we can hold on to, orientate ourselves with.
I want you to know that it's only the good and pure things in life that you deserve. The sun shines to brighten your day, the moon rises to illuminate your night and it's the stars that give their, shy, twinkling sparks for you to observe. When a star dies, it explodes into one last show of exellance, a beautiful goodbye, only to leave space for a new star to be born, to shine even more brightly than the former. Your eyes reflect this brilliance and sometimes it seems as though I can see the whole universe orbiting within your irises. It's this exact luminance that you emit that illuminates the overbearing darkness for so many of us, helps us find our way and our strength when we feel weak.
When you feel as though the path is too rocky and rough to traverse, or your knees might give out underneath you because the weight on your shoulders seems unbearable all of a sudden, know that we are here to catch you, support you and protect you. The million stars in the sky watch your back as we clear the path in front of you and I promise you this: we will never, ever, abandon you. So let that tear roll down your face, embrace the tight feeling in your chest and throat as the solemness bears over you and know that, there is nothing wrong about this because no matter how broken you might feel, you will shine even brighter by the end of the night. Like a reborn star.
Everyday I wake up, thinking that I've reached the maximum amount of affection for you but I realize that I've long breached that peak. My love to you is undying and endless. And sometimes I'm overwhelmed, because it's a first for me. You're my first, making me feels this way, as if the heart pumping in my chest would implode from the warm, buzzing feeling only your smiles can induce. Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself in those moments but just the though of you is sobering. I don't have to know why I cry over you, smile at you, laugh with you, love and adore you because I just do, I just feel and that is good enough for me.
So, Park Chanyeol, the light of my life, I hope the love that I give you will everglow.
Happy Birthday, I love you.
