When I offer you this rare gift of feeling utterly enough, I become the faithful mirror that reflects not the imagined imperfections you scrutinize in dawn's harsh light, but the constellation of radiance that forms your spirit. My reverent touch traces the geography of your collarbones, the gentle slope of your shoulders, the soft landscape of your belly;peeling away years of whispered doubts that have draped themselves across your shoulders like invisible weights. In the shelter of our shared moments; beneath tangled sheets at midnight or across a sunlit breakfast table; the exhausting performance you've perfected for others dissolves into dust. You need not carefully select your words or monitor your laughter or soften your opinions. Here, in this hallowed space between heartbeats, your unfiltered existence alone is the masterpiece I worship each day.
This offering arrives not with orchestral fanfare or grandiose declaration But in the quiet cadence of unwavering devotion,
In my fingertips memorizing the delicate architecture of your face in darkness,
In my voice rising like a tide to meet your midnight uncertainties, In the warmth of my chest against your back when winter seeps into your bones, In how I defend your name when spoken carelessly by others, In the way my eyes seek yours across crowded rooms as if pulled by ancient gravity. I bestow upon you the freedom to expand into every dimension of your truth, To speak with thunder when passion moves you, To whisper when tenderness fills your throat, To weep without explanation, To rage without justification, To simply breathe without question; Neither diminished nor exaggerated, But perfectly, completely, magnificently enough.
When this gift passes from my soul to yours, I transform into the silver moonlight illuminating the shadowed corridors of your most persistent doubts, the crackling hearth-fire melting the accumulated frost of your deepest insecurities. I become the one whose vision penetrates through the carefully constructed façades you've crafted since girlhood; the composed professional, the tireless caretaker, the unflagging optimist; seeing instead the multifaceted woman who stands before me in rare vulnerability. My eyes linger on the tiny scar above your eyebrow, the stretch marks silvering your hips, the worry line between your brows—each imperfection perfect in its testimony to your journey. And as I witness you; truly witness every layer of you; your faith in yourself unfurls like night-blooming jasmine, your trust in your inherent worthiness deepens like ancient roots, and you realize that love isn't a prize to be earned with performance but the birthright embedded in your marrow.
This is the gift that metamorphoses everything it touches, Transforming ordinary moments into sacred ritual, Our Sunday mornings tangled in cotton sheets,
Your laughter echoing through our kitchen at midnight, The weight of your head on my shoulder during long drives,Your fingers absently tracing patterns on my forearm during conversations. It is belonging tattooed into the rhythm of our synchronized breaths,
Recognition carved into every lingering glance across dinner tables, Acceptance flowing between us like an ancient river cutting through stone. With each synchronized heartbeat, each whispered endearment against your neck, Each wordless moment of understanding between us, I proclaim your wholeness, your worthiness, your magnificence. And this gift, once bestowed, becomes eternal; A flame impervious to time's relentless current, A truth that neither distance nor circumstance can diminish,
A certainty more solid than the ground beneath our feet.
In your eyes, I've found my home; in your heart, my purpose. And in the sacred space between us, we've created something Neither of us could manifest alone; A love that doesn't just see beauty, but creates it, A bond that doesn't just acknowledge worth, but multiplies it, A connection that reminds us both, with each passing day, That we are;gloriously, undeniably, magnificently,
Enough.
