The views expressed in the texts do not necessarily represent the views of the artist.
There aren’t enough words in the English language to sufficiently express what you mean to me.
I’m going to try anyway.
I should have told you that your smile is my favourite thing in the world. That the memory of your radiance is what keeps me warm during these cold winter nights.
I should have told you that a hug was all I needed. Instead, you gave me your heart and you gave it to me so fully. You also bought me chocolates.
I should have told you that I never meant to cry during our dinner. You didn’t even question it; you helped me wipe away the tears.
I should have told you that your 2 a.m. phone call saved my life. That the patience and selflessness you have shown me, I will never find in someone else.
I should have told you that I think I found my soulmate. Your intelligence keeps me in awe, and your kindness keeps me afloat.
I should have told you that I worry now that you’re not around. I worry you’ll settle for less than you deserve because even if I could gift you the universe, somehow it still wouldn’t be enough.
I should have told you that you look like Home to me. You look like Salvation. You look like Shelter. You look like Safety.
What I should have told all the incredible women who have helped me become the woman I am today:
Thank you.
I love you.
I couldn’t have done it without you.
