Song lyrics, viral videos on repeat
Every word pronounced and the laughter loud
Without her, I’d keep in my head
She plucks my energy off the ground
An ordered list or inquires may await me
A probability tree for each hypothetical possibility
With round deep eyes, brown and gleen
She listens and holds, and wait for me
She hates walking in the rain, wet shoes cause her pain
Specifics and to-do lists, you’ll never catch her clueless
Though the universe bears on her, she’ll rarely complain,
Mistakes and words are met with nothing but patience
Raised to be older, she’s honed her craft
The speed of her wit, the dictionary of her mind.
You think you’ve seen better? Don’t be so daft
You’ll never meet someone so unfailingly kind
When it feels like she’s leaving you,
The sadness will pervasive
The thought of the silence will make your mind blue
The eyes and the awe, the thought is abrasive
Her hand won’t always be so close to hold
She’s just too good, and she ought to know
The universe’s broader plan needs to unfold
For that, you’ll have to let her go.

Writing is powerful. I can feel what you mean. Keep writing!
Very well written Neha. I thought of a song…
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance
