Thank you

for the laughter 

that came like sunlight

through the blinds,

for the patience that 

hummed beneath every silence.

You taught me that 

love is not loud

It comes with time

And every dull moment 

Can be turned into a 

core memory 

That you can carry with you for life

For the hugs that lingered

Even when you have 

Not been here for 

384 days.
