Miles between every kiss

When I look back…

we really did come far.

But time moved so fast with you,

it feels like there were miles

between every kiss

like we were leaping through chapters

we didn’t even notice being written.

We told our story

with two hands

and one pen,

as if our hearts

kept passing the ink

without ever needing to speak.

And what a beautiful story it is…

especially when it’s your voice

that brings it back to life

because even your silence

says something to me

even your breath

speaks louder than a thousand words.

And if someone asked me

how I would describe life…

I’d say it hasn’t been the same since you.

It’s softer by your side

brighter in your eyes

funniest when it’s told

through your laughter

more alive when your presence

gives it meaning.

To me,

you’re a place where I can breathe

a whole world I carry in my heart.

a “home”

that still beats inside my chest.
