How do I tell you I love you without choking on the words?

Growing up, I never heard my family say 'I love you'. It was something people confessed in films and books and not what mother said to us or father told my mother. I love you was an exotic bird that existed somewhere in the world- too far away from us. I love you was a weakness that required immeasurable strength.

So, I pour my love in the morning coffee. And in the evening, I peel an orange for you, I love you. And I send you 15 cat pictures an hour, I love you and I hope you see it. And I text you good morning at the same time everyday, I love you, I love you, I love you. And until I learn to swallow it and live in it and whisper it, I hope you see how much I love you.

A Love Letter For Everyone (the first)

Hello, my little dove

If you're reading this, I love you.

That means I would have you remember that the very stars live beneath your skin, that a thousand jars of fairy lights could never compare to you when you smile.

So bright, and soft, and precious, and human.

If you're reading this, then I would have you smile at least one more time today. At something that amuses you, or touches you, or pleasantly surprises you. (and of course, if it's this very post you smile at today, I would consider my mission accomplished)

You are incomparable, dear one. Never forget that. (but of course, if you do, it will be my mission to remind you)
