You are Drake’s Take Care album.
You are driving out to the airport in the middle of the night to look at the lights.
You are belting out old school songs.
You are random dinner dates.
You are genuine laughter.
You are that old thang.
You are the perfect verse over a tight beat.
You are knowing what is going on with me without seeing me for weeks.
I owe you all of the colors in their richest and brightest hues for your artwork.
–S.
You are peace of mind when I’ve watched a scary movie and can’t go to sleep.
You are words that I don’t want to hear, but need to listen to.
You are sweets after your daily nap.
You have always been very hard on me and with age I have realized it was all to make me better.
Thank you for all of the laughter over the years.
I hope with time I am able to continue to make you proud.
You are a strong man whose sacrifices for his family are endless.
I hope I learn to fear less one day. I hope my future husband can look at me with the same magnitude of love in your eyes when you look at mama.
I owe you all of the video cards in the world.
–S.
The Messy Middle 🖤
