A Digital Letter
For Valerie,
( scroll slowly )
"I wanted to write this down because spoken words vanish into the air,
but this stays."
The Calm
Do you remember this day? The world outside was chaotic and loud, but right next to you, it felt like the eye of a storm. Quiet. Safe.
The Pause
I never really fell in love with mountains or long hikes. I only loved the way you smiled through the tiredness, the way you made silence feel complete. I was walking with you, not toward the summit, but toward the same place.
The Us
In a room full of people, my eyes always find yours. It's my favorite habit.
"If I could freeze one moment,
it would always be this one."
You are my favorite days.

I wrote this because sometimes words aren't enough, but I have to try.
You are the quiet peace in my noisy world. The warmth I come home to.
Thank you for being you.
Your Secret Admirer
