Dream and Live Forever

You came in like a festival

before I knew I was starving

confetti words. Your words.

Every touch was electric,

every look a promise that was

stitched in gold glitter thread.

frayed thread

You called me your twin flame,

called me fate,

called me yours

before I could call myself ready.

Each morning,

a bouquet of too much.

Each night,

a lullaby of never leave.

This went on for months,

turned into a year,

turned into debris

But love doesn’t rush like a flood.

It doesn’t feel like electricity

It doesn’t knock your breath out

to prove it’s real.

I mistook your avalanche for affection.

Now I’m buried in petals

that rot when touched,

choking on sweetness

that never tasted like safety.

Every word now, falsity

You didn’t love me

you just wanted me to believe

no one else ever could.

Today, celebrate not just the years gone by, but the person you’ve become. Your story is unique, and your heart, no matter where it’s been, holds so much power to heal and to love.

Happy birthday, and may the road ahead continue to be filled with hope and endless possibilities.
