The Way

The way you said hello, I still remember the first time we met. It wasn’t dramatic, but it made me pause in a way I didn't expect.

The way we began to talk. We would pass by each other, and you left me smiling, brightening my day.

The way your hands found mine for warmth felt so natural, so meant to be. I will always protect you.

The way our chats flourished with memes, laughter, and depth, leading to a friendship that was more than either of us had planned.

The way you bring me snacks, keep me fed, and make me feel loved in the simplest ways.

The way we hold each other close, gently, as I hear and feel your heartbeat, steady and calm.

The way the world softens when you enter the room, and everything fades into the background until it’s just us.

I don’t know all the places life will take us, but I look forward to the adventures, stories, laughter, and blessings we’ll share along the way.

Happy Birthday, love.

I'm really glad you said hello.
