Panda bear.
The name you called yourself then.
Hiding behind black and white photos and storm clouds, your shyness stood out to me.
I was up in the mountains when I realized I was in love. My head was literally in the clouds, I daydreamed about you through every moment of the day, even when my heart was still healing from my last relationship.
How can I say it? You were a star against darkness, feathers white against black night, like a snowy owl. The shyness could not dampen your brightness.
He's what you deserve. A man who cares enough about you to travel any distance to be in your arms, he's a keeper. Your heart has already been rewritten in his handwriting, it was meant to be.
I prayed that you would love again, that you'd feel happiness a thousand times louder than before because you deserved it and I couldn't stand walking away knowing that you'd be broken so this is the best outcome.
I'm one part jealous and two parts grateful.
You shine brighter with him.
Which doesn't mean I don't miss it.
But every time I feel a flicker of doubt, I see you glowing and I know that this is better.
You're happier.
And it is right.
