my favorite thing about you: you know when to be open. evenings sitting side by side until you say that one thing to set us all laughing. hidden smiles turn to unrestrained banter, subtle glances turn to unwavering support, and it makes you warm.
a brief definition of your shape in my mind:
sweatshirt hoods and a closed-lip smile, fast talking and a faster biker, future doctor, patiently following your ambitions every day.
do you remember when: we looked back and forth over dinner one fall night and read each other's minds, walked back and forth over the bridge looking for good food and good memories, went back and forth on the terrace telling each other who we were for the first time. it's all the moments, me realizing over and over how glad i am to get to know you.
i can't wait to: come with you to buy cake one of these days, call you doctor and have it be official this time, meet your sister, listen to k-pop and bollywood, sit together, grow together
i hope to give you:
an OG you never forget is there for you
another witness to what we called from day one
hugs and just being here
what you ask for and nothing more, what you need and nothing less

ad astra per aspera
Poetrymelting planets drip onto my tongue, dying it bronze and blue. for weeks, my words come out poetry-flavored. so I lick the page and see which way the ink bleeds, into the paper or into my mind.
