love letter

i need you. not in a way that’s desperate or incomplete without you

but a need like when the stars need the night to be seen. to glow.

a need like the way my heart feels steadier when I hear your voice

or when you hold me and everything disappears for just a moment.

i need the way you look at me- as if I’m the only one in the room.

the way we make the perfect team.

and

the way your love reaches certain parts of me—

the soft hidden places I thought would never be noticed.

i need you because you’ve become a part of my everyday-

life makes more sense with you in it. fuller.

because with you, everything feels just a little more like magic.

I love you.
