for all the words i left unsaid

your eyes

I told you that already, but i have to say it again: i love your eyes. I wasn't able to understand exactly why i love them so much. Maybe it's because they look like mine, maybe it's the way they look smaller when you smile, maybe it's the way you look at me with them.

I think it's because they remind me of the stars.

I don't know if i told you, but there's three things that have a really special place in my heart: ipês, the moon and the stars.

I grew up in a house made out of ipê wood, and my favourite tree to climb was one of those. I have a special connection with that kind of tree.

The moon i already told you about, i can't really explain why i love it so much, i just do. I feel like it is always taking care of me, and I'm always taking care of it, it's my connection with the world.

And lastly, the stars.

Every time i look at them i feel like I'm not alone, and that helped me go through so many things. They were my only company when i tried to kill myself for the first time. And i got truly happy when i woke up back again and was able to look at the stars again. I felt complete, happy, at home. That's why they are so important to me, why your eyes are so beautiful to me. It doesn't matter where i go, where i live, because my home is where i can see the stars.

My home is where i can be with you.

You are my stars, my home, my light, and i am so grateful to have you in my life.
