To you, at twenty—six

I met you when the days were still, beneath soft lights and quiet will, at student's treasure, time stood slow_ yet something sparked, a secret glow. five months gone by, yet in your eyes, I've seen whole skies and oceans rise. you, a calm the world cant fake, a gentle truth in all you make. At twenty-six, you bloom anew, each layer richrich, each moment true. you carry warmth the star would crave, the kind of heart the brave hearts save. so, here's to dreams you've yet to chase, to all your light, your silent grave. to laughter shared and days begun, with you, my lovelove, my only one . happy birthday— may you see how deeply loved you are by me. sotsula yimkhiung
