My first attempt at a love letter

I remember telling you the day we sat down on those cold tiles that you were the silver lining to my cloudy days.

So today, I'm writing to you, my silver lining.

I've wanted to write one of these to you for a long time. I told myself, though, that the timing was never perfect. I'll be happy to put pen to paper and express what a joy your presence has been for me, even if you never read this. If I were required to give explanations for my feelings toward you, I would have a long list that would continue to get longer over time. The one that would top them all, though, is just this: It's because of you that I was able to be the person I wanted to be. It was dark here until you brought light. Since that initial afternoon, there have been several incidents that have felt like a roller coaster. Nevertheless, despite the ups and downs, apologies and quiet. I now have a better understanding of what it means to be human. And even if this never happens. I'll be happy to have met you, even if it was just briefly. This is the human heart, which is capable of loving above all else and which experiences sadness, joy, and grief. And you gave this one new life. I'll be forever grateful for that.

I don't feel like I would ever be worthy of a gift like you as I am right now. But each morning when I get out of bed, I give it everything I have and work tirelessly to make progress—one day at a time. All in an effort to become the person you inspire me to be. Hopefully, in the future, I'll look back and be happy that I persisted through the difficult times. Because I am aware that, as long as you are holding the other, I can conquer the world with just one hand. I wish I had more to write to you, but I'll stop there and pray that the Almighty would protect you and direct your path.

All the best,

Soul.
