ICR, pt. 1 (I love you isn’t a big enough phrase..)

September 2024:

When I think about you, I think about your smile and the way your eyes become the most beautiful quarter moons when you talk about your kids and the ones you love. 

I think about your kindness—your genuine care and concern for all that surround you. 

I think about the look on your face, moments before our first kiss. 

I think about the lifetimes we must have shared, the magnetic pull of our souls, the inevitability of our love. 

I think about how quickly I would shift the entirety of my life just to be close to you. 

And I am in awe. 

I love you isn’t a big enough phrase for what I feel for you.
