Happy Birthday,

Shithil

A song for you...

Wishing you the most amazing day, filled with all the joy, laughter, and love you deserve. You make the world brighter just by being in it. I hope this year brings you everything you've been dreaming of.

This is your special day..and you're always special to me.
Now I'm going to tell you something that,

I do not love you as you were salt, rose, or topaz,
Or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms,
But carries in itself the light of hidden flowers.
Thanks to your love,
A certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth,
lives darkly in my body.

I love you,
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way than this:
Where I do not exist, nor you.

So close
That your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close
That your eyes close as I fall asleep.

A few of my favorite moments...
