it won't
be love at
first sight when
we meet it'll be love

when she tells me to marry the type
of man i'd want to raise my son to be like”

i am allowed
to take up space
is like writing with
my left hand
when i was born
to use my right

“i am sending my love to your eyes. may they always see goodness in people. and may you always practice kindness. may we see each other as one. may we be nothing short of in love with everything the universe has to offer. and may we always stay grounded. rooted. our feet planted firmly onto the earth.”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey
