A lifetime

Weston Arhdam 1988 (San Antonio, Texas)

September 24 


You are the most beautiful creature to ever exist
To be in your presence is unequivocally, bliss.
I fumble for words that will never come near
The tides of emotions that swell upon my pier.
Bringing color and animation with every breath,
Your laugh sings a song that brings to life even death.
How to explain to you how you make me feel,
I would spend a lifetime trying to show you with fervor and zeal
