Before you leave this world...

I hope, before you leave this world,

you experience love at least once.

Not the loud kind.

Not the convenient kind.

But the kind where you look into someone’s eyes

and feel like you’ve touched their soul

and for a moment, you forget what looking away even means.

The kind where taking their name

feels instinctive… almost sacred

like a prayer you don’t have to remember,

because it lives on your lips.

The kind where their presence

doesn’t just make you happy

it softens you,

humbles you,

changes something deep inside you

that you didn’t even know needed changing.

Because once you’ve loved like that,

you understand something rare.

That there exists someone

who can move your heart this way.

And more importantly

that you are capable of loving this deeply.

And how extraordinary wholesome is this realisation!
