your first words as a stranger
were words of comfort & encouragement
my dark world was a given a sun
for my moon to rotate around
there, you interrupted my tears with your laughter
laughter that became a core memory
a voice that became a comfort
there is no way to describe you but a shooting star
at the end of a tiring day
you are my prize
a safe place to sleep next to
though four hundred miles apart,
distance never comes between
your presence is a star in my dark, dark sky
in fact, you are creating constellations
my sunshine girl, how do words describe?
one day you can sink your head in my arms
lean on my chest
let the world off your shoulders
safe on the shore, i'll whisper these words
"you're doing so well. i'm so proud of you."
