YOUR EYES LOOK LIKE HOME TO ME….

The last time we spoke I meant to tell you,
I think you’re incredible.
But the words got stuck in my throat.
You should know that I think of you all the time.
You deserve to hear it said aloud,
so I’m sorry for not saying what’s spilling out of my heart.
Everything I do these days is with you in mind.
I’ll walk by a beautiful home and imagine us inside one of our own. I hold off on trying new restaurants because I know I’ll enjoy them more with you. Postcards become places I envision us vacationing.
I leave myself notes of questions to ask you,
or things I found funny
that I know you will, too.
You’re the best, most beautiful part of my life.
Woven into the fabric of my day.

Sometimes I talk myself out of telling you how proud of you I am. Kind words weren’t something I heard often growing up, so they still feel awkward and clumsy as they leave my lips.
It’s easier for me to write them down.
So, I hope these words land just the same.
I hope you’re reading this in my voice and hear it how I do – I’m so proud of you, sweetheart.
Life grows so hectic at times,
and I’m sure you feel as if you’re spinning your wheels, wondering when it’ll get easier,
or if all your hard work is worth it.
I see the way you push yourself and how life sometimes pushes back.
I see the way exhaustion shows up too early on long days. You look in the mirror and joke about how tired you look.
But you should know that all I see
is your strength.
Your eyes look like home to me.
All I see is the rest of my life.
If you ever,
for even one second,
feel as if you’re not doing enough,
please know that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I’m sorry I didn’t say this earlier,
when we spoke,
but you are incredible.
I'm here,
whenever you need somewhere to rest.
I'll remind you again then.
