Sincerely,

by F.S. Yousaf

I did not just fall in love With your beauty, I fell in love with every single Aspect of you. And I pray that everybody else Can see what I see in you.

I have jumped from house to house My whole life. Stability, for me, has been nearly nonexistent, But I have hope That you could be my home For as long as I live.

Keep on talking about how lovely Our future will be. As every word escapes your mouth, Glimpses of hope Appear in my heart.

I did not enter your life To hold you back from your goals— To make you feel miniscule. I crave success for you, Even more so than for myself.

I always counted down the days Until I saw you again. These moments with you Were the only times I felt like my true self.
