Even when you face a difficult moment and fall a little bit behind, as if you’re doing a long jump, wouldn’t you have a longer runway to be able to jump further?


Warmth

Creeping up your soul

And wrapping around your heart


A smile

Stretching and pulling

Until you can’t stop it from growing


Eyes

Squinting and narrowing

In pure joy and laughter

Until the color disappears and a rainbow arc replaces it


A voice

Echoing in your mind

And scenes

Replaying over and over again until its all you can see

Like a feathery tickle in the back of your mind


Memories

Of a slight touch

A nervous glance

A sweet sentence


To you

Because of you

For you


All for you
