1 + 1

Let's cut the bullshit.

You know who you are to me
but then,
there's no way you know
who you are to me.

So I'm going to tell you.

You are the keymaker.
You unlock things I didn't know
were hidden away
in the dark where I couldn't see.

You are the spotlight.
You illuminate the parts that make me
ashamed.
You help me see they're beautiful.

You are the canvas.
You give me the strength to make
bold changes, swift strokes.
You aren't afraid I'll use too much black.

You are the audience.
You laugh at my jokes and
smile when I'm doing nothing but growing
changing, right in front of you.

You are the catalyst.
The first person I thought of when
I decided to change, to dare.
You made me want to dream big.

So here we are - so very far away - but so close to my heart I feel I could reach out and touch you if I tried just a little harder.

It's strange, but important.
It's scary, but it's whole and full of possibilities.
It's love but its more than that, so much more than that.

And I don't think anybody knows how big that is...but me...and you.

And, for now, that's enough.

(Keep holding my heart love - it trusts you with it.)


Yours,
-Asha
