Dear love, Do you know why I get so caught up looking at you sometimes? It's because I don't always see you the way the mirror does. Sometimes I glance over and see the version of you that first showed me what it meant to love someone. I see 10-year-old you and it makes me feel like 9-year-old me... back before life got complicated and relationships hurt. I look over and see a memory... a silly little candle wish on a homemade banana cake that I'd marry you someday. The first birthday wish I ever remember making. It was you. And there you are. I can't help but to still be amazed by it all... you're my wish come true.
