my other half

the love of my life, 

you are my other half

i wish we had met earlier

because we would have more memories together

distance makes it hard on our friendship

but i love you nonetheless

i will call you 

and if you don't pick up, 

i will leave you voicemails

ending with 

"i love you 

i miss you and

take care" 

i will answer if you call

but if i can't answer, 

i will have space in my voicemail

for you to leave me a message

if you urgently need to tell me something

i will hug you

the next time i see you 

i miss the hugs we shared every time we saw each other at school 

but i appreciate your embrace whenever we reconnect

i will sing you

the most magnificent love songs

on your birthday

on any day of the year

because you deserve to know

how very loved you are

you mean so much to me

i can't imagine life without you

and when i was mad at you, 

i'm sorry

my anger stemmed from how much i missed you

and i was jealous that i couldn't talk to you 

as you spoke to others 

may we be blessed with this new year.

despite any adversity coming towards us, 

we have each other

know that i won't leave you

i will be by your side

although we might be 90 miles away
