There are some people who pass through our lives like seasons, arriving quietly and leaving just as softly. and then there are people like you people who become part of the landscape of our hearts, so deeply woven into us that we can no longer remember what life looked like before them.i think you became that person for me.sometimes i wonder if you truly understand what you've done to my world. how you turned ordinary days into memories worth keeping. how a simple notification from you can still make my heart race. how your laughter has become one of my favorite sounds, and your happiness one of my favorite things to witness.before you, the moon was just the moon. now it is every late night thought of you. every wish made in silence. every moment i spend staring at the sky, hoping somehow it carries my love to wherever you are.before you, songs were just songs. now every love song feels like a secret written about us.before you, my heart belonged only to me. now it reaches for you in every quiet moment without even asking permission.i have loved you in a thousand small ways you probably never noticed. in every prayer whispered for your happiness. in every "text me when you get home." in every moment i saw something beautiful and immediately wished you were there to see it too.thank you for every smile you've placed upon my lips, every laugh you've pulled from my chest, every touch that lingered long after we let go. thank you for holding my hand so tightly that even on my hardest days, i never felt alone.there are countless things i love about you, but my favorite has always been your heart. the way you love, the way you care, the way you remain soft in a world that often asks people to be hard. i hope you never lose that part of yourself.i don't know what the future holds, but i know this if life gives me the privilege of loving you for many more birthdays, i will spend every one of them thanking the universe for the day you were born.i love you in all the little ways that don't ask to be seen because it isn't just in the grand declarations.if i could give you anything today, i would give you my eyes for just a moment, so you could see yourself the way i see you.someone whose existence alone has made another person's life infinitely brighter.that life is kind to you.i hope that your heart stays soft and that your dreams find their way home to you.thank you for existing.thank you for being born.thank you for letting me love you.i would choose you in every lifetime, every universe, every version of the story.if ever there comes a day when you forget how loved you are, come back to these words and remember this somewhere in this vast and noisy world, there is a girl whose heart whispers your name like a prayer.i love you quietly, loudly, endlessly, and in all the spaces in between. Happy birthday, my sweet boy.
