To your soul from mine.

My sweetheart, my love. I would bring you the sweetest voice in the world to sing to you all night if I could, I would bring you the coolest shade from under a tree if I could, I would bring you the softest silk to wrap you in and the warmest embrace that would make you feel loved. But my dear I can only bring you words for now.

You have to bear with me because I am far and I can only bring you my voice for now. I can bring you perhaps some comfort from the words so used by billions, I wish I could bring you some novelty just about right now. I wish I could bring you the magic pill of my love that would dissolve at the tip of your tongue and you would instantly know the truth of how much I love you now.

My heart aches when you ache inside, feeling so broken and so unfixable, fixing all the world’s aches all this while your hands are rough but your heart beats still.

My muscles feel shame when you carry such load on your own, caring for all not feeling cared even once.

My smile feels no joy knowing you smile not from within, you feel incomplete and so unworthy and such shame coming in.

How could I ever use some words, put them around so they could convey to you that i love you with no bounds, I look away but don’t stop seeing you, I speak too loud but don’t stop hearing you, I yell and I shout but never stop feeling you, I say hurtful things but never stop loving you.

How could I tell you my love that it is only as a form of love that I push you to spread your wings, it is only as a form of love that I want to help you succeed, it is only as a form of love that I root for you when you feel down and beaten too.

I know it hurts today and nothing seems to go our way, you feel unworthy and broken and not enough within. And thats okay. I wait on the side walk, for as long as it takes, I walk your side supporting and leaning, I stop when you stop, I stay when you leave.

I am here and I am ready to support you in your way. To love you until you believe. To hug you until you feel worthy. To kiss you until your thoughts can talk no more. To hold you until you doubt no more. To love you until you know no more.

I am here, I will stay, I will fight, I will love, I will demand, I will give in, I will strive, all because I love you so much more. O love, I wish I could bring you more, but bear with me, I am far and I can only bring you my voice for now. Some words for now. Some love for now.
