One of One

My One of One

My only one,

Shining like the tropic sun,

your cocoa skin,

smoother than silk,

softer than crushed velvet,

and a heart so pure

you can’t help but love all the creatures—

even those little worms.

I feel so lucky

to have held you

for as long as I have.

With you in my arms,

This crazy world somehow makes sense.

I never knew what my arms were for

until I held you.

I never knew what my hands were for

until I touched you.

I never knew what my heart was for

until you gave me yours

and somehow

we became one.

Rest assured, you have my whole heart.

I want no one…

I want nothing else.

I think about us, back in the day

back when everything was new—

laying together in your bed,

listening to our playlist,

laughing, singing, talking,

staying up way later than we should.

Just staring up at the star lamp

wrapped up in each other,

with nowhere else to be.

I just knew.

We had found something

I had never found anywhere else.

Something special.

And here we still are,

All these years and memories later,

And I can still feel it.

You make me stronger.

You make me want to try harder,

love deeper,

to become someone

worthy of the love you give me.

You will always be my sunshine.

And I am proud to be the moonlight—

shining beside you,

a little softer,

a little darker,

but ever drawn toward your light.

Because that’s what you do.

Effortlessly… every day.

You light up my whole sky.

It’s the way you laugh.

It’s your tender heart,

the way you can see something small

something most people would miss

and find a reason to care.

I love the parts of you

you let the world see,

but even more,

I love the little parts

that only I get to see.

There’s no one else like you.

I’m grateful I found you again

I’m grateful you chose me

And if I could go back

to the beginning of us,

I wouldn’t trade a single minute

I’d find you again.

I’d choose that first laugh.

That first touch.

That first night.

I’d choose your hand in mine.

Your head on my chest.

Falling asleep beside you

and waking up next to you.

Over and over.

I’d do it all again.

All those ordinary moments

that somehow became

my favorite memories.

No matter what the future holds

I’ve learned something beautiful

You are my home

You are my sanctuary

As long as we have each other

I know I’m gonna be okay

So today, on your birthday

I don’t want to make you sad.

I just want to tell you

how lucky I feel

that I got to spend all these moments with you.

For all the laughs we’ve shared.

For all the nights we’ve held each other.

I don’t tell you that enough

I’m proud of all our memories

And hopefully there are many more

Still waiting for us.

You deserve the best.

And that’s what I want to be… for you.

Not because you asked me for that,

but because loving you

makes me want to become

the best version of myself.

My mahal,

My sunshine,

my one of one,

my only one—

I love you

for who you are,

for who you were,

and for the person

you’re still becoming.

I love the woman I know today,

And that girl I fell for back in high school,

and every version in between.

If I had a thousand lives to live,

I would hope

that somewhere, somehow

in each one of them,

I’d find you.

I’d hold you.

I’d choose you.

I’d look at you

And feel those butterflies

I felt when I first realized:

There you are.

My sunshine.

My love.

My one of one.

Happy birthday.

Someday

The first to fall, the first to share

But someday you will meet me there

As falling leaves me up the path

I have not fear, regret, nor wrath

For I see your heart, such beauty, true

How could I not fall for you?

So please forgive my lack of grace

As I now stand vigil in this place

In strength, not weakness, due to care

And when you’re ready… find me there

Throw A Blanket On Me

Remember that feeling
Of being tucked in?
That blanket pulled tight
Right under your chin?
In that half slumber
Knowing love and such grace
That your cynicism now
Even dare not replace?
Well, we’re all still that child
Even as we have grown
We’re all still that vulnerable
We’re all still alone
Our journey is fraught
At times cruel and unfair
We could all use a hand
That’s more often not there
But for the sake of my child
And yours, let’s agree
To care for each other
Throw a blanket on me

Best Playlist EVAR

Have you ever watched a movie on mute? It’s just not the same. Sure, the splashy visuals of explosions and beautiful people are still cool and interesting, but you need the sound to really convey the emotion. We’re subconsciously affected by those audio cues that tell us through our shared experience when to laugh or to cry or to be scared.

Music is like magic. It has the transcendent power to connect us with our inner self. Each song we connect with takes on it’s own special meaning, and through our shared love of these songs we connect with each other. If you pay close attention, how you react to a song can teach you a lot about yourself. Maybe you’re reminded of someone you once knew or some specific place or time in your life. Maybe it’s more vague, something you once felt, an echo or call back to an emotion long dormant but never forgotten. Maybe it even connects with something you’re feeling right now but can’t put into words.

Below are a few playlists I’ve collected over the years inspired by chapters or themes in music history or by people or events I’ve encountered along my own journey. Whether you’re feeling whimsical, sad or silly… I hope you find something that meets you where you are, reminds you of where we were, or perhaps even takes you where you would like to be.
