Above the sky of me
My love for you lives somewhere above me
a quiet star, burning wiser than my name.
It shines where my doubts used to gather,
it glows where my fears once claimed their throne.
My will was only to try,
yet love for you carried me further
past the edge of hesitation,
into the soft certainty of success.
My will was to leap,
but your love gave me wings
not just the courage to jump,
but the grace to rise, to fly, to stay aloft.
My will was to learn,
but loving you made me a lantern
glowing enough to guide not just myself,
but those who wandered near me in the dark.
My will was to heal,
but your love stitched me stronger
turning my fractures into gentleness,
turning my wounds into wisdom.
My will was to smile,
but your love made me laugh
not the small laughter of passing joy,
but the deep one that cleans the soul.
My will was to survive,
but you made me flourish
you taught me that life is more
than breath and heartbeat,
that living is an art of blooming.
My will was simply to live,
yet your love taught me
how to live happily
with a lightness in my bones,
a melody in my steps,
and a sky inside my chest
that keeps widening for you.
