John

Before you go,

There's something I want you to know.

It's a simple thing really,

A small thing.

But the small things were always the big things for us.

I want to tell you about this thing I do.

From that first day in the sun, in the grass, 

My heart no longer beat for me,

It beat for you,

It was as if magic were to blame.

How could this broken, calloused girl fall in love?

But somewhere between "Hello" and "Goodbye" that day,

I was in love.

Quietly, and perfectly, in love.

I want you to know how much you glowed to me,

It was beautiful.

Like looking at the truest form of you. 

You had no insecurities, no shame,

You simply were.

You were simply you, and my god, it was beautiful.

That day I could see the entire universe in your eyes,

All the choices I had made that brought me here, 

And for once, I didn't regret any of them.

My Love, I must have known you in another life 

Because from the first moment I looked into your eyes,

It felt like coming home.

And it was such an amazing feeling,

That it nearly brought me to tears.

I had been so lonely,

And so lost,

For so long.

And I was finally home.

That night, was the first night that it happened.

While in my car, driving away from you, 

With the cool, fragrant, summer breeze caressing my face,

And playing with my hair,

I wordlessly whispered a wish.

This wish was not long or complicated,

In fact, it was only one word.

The one word that now meant the world to me.

Can you guess it?

I did not wish it in hopes of possessing you, though,

I did not wish it in hopes for your affection,

This wish is far more true than that. 

It is simply for your happiness.

And every single time I whisper this wish inside of my head,

I see you, 

The simple and perfectly, imperfect man, 

That shone like the sun to me on that very first day.

Every single day I wish for you.

Whether it be on a dandelion, clock, or summer breeze.

I have wished for you for an eternity, my love.

And I couldn't have imagined you any better.

Words can never express the love I have for you, my dear.

And I want you to know, 

That though life takes it's toll,

And some nights we can't see the light in each other's eyes,

That even if I never got the chance to say one more word to you,

I would spend the rest of my life wishing for you,

And even then,

If I knew for certain, 

That I had the chance,

For one wish to come true,

I would still use it to say the one word, that means the world to me.

It will always be you.

Even with my last breath.

Forever Yours,

Stephany
