I Cherish Fully
I cherish, fully— not in halves or borrowed time— but like the hush of turning pages in the books you've left behind.
I believe in dog-eared truths creased between the moments we dared to read each other out loud.
Together, we underlined silence, highlighted every almost, and made margins of what we couldn't say.
You, you are the footnote I return to— small, certain, the kind that makes the whole thing make sense.
