The beautiful change

I choose words from your vocabulary and use them all day long – at least, in language – we are one!

I remember things about you I shouldn’t remember, what you wore on Wednesday, when we started talking, the way your eyes are the perfect shade of greyish brown, the way your hair look different every time, your moving of hands while talking, your everything and everything about you!

It’s strange how you’ve become a part of my everyday.. in my thoughts, in the way I notice the world, in the pauses between my sentences. Sometimes, I catch myself smiling for no reason, only to realise it’s because something reminded me of you.

You live quietly in the little things… just yesterday, you were the song playing somewhere, or the way I like my coffee now, or how I’ve started liking things I never did before. It’s like you’ve left pieces of yourself with me, without even trying… without even saying! 

And maybe I never said it out loud, but being around you feels like home, so warm, calm, and full of a thousand little moments I never want to forget.

You’ve changed something in me. The way I feel things now has more depth. I notice beauty more, I pause more, I feel more. It’s like you’ve slowed time just enough for me to truly live in it. I never knew someone’s presence could do that… your presence could do that! 

There’s a quiet courage in me now; to speak, to care, to be real. Maybe because you made it feel safe. Like being myself wasn’t something I had to earn, just something I could be. That’s rare, and it’s everything.

Even on the hard days, just a thought of you softens something inside me. You make the world feel a little less heavy, a little more possible… a little too easy to deal! 

In your quiet, effortless way, you’ve made a home in me. 


And even if I never find the perfect words to say it, just know that something in me changed the day you walked in and it’s the most beautiful change I’ve known.
