He might be magic. Maybe there's stardust flowing in his veins, making him glow from the inside out. There is a refined grace in him, how he sees the world from a different lens. A random glitch in the system, an anomaly. Among thousands shade of grey he is that one little sparkle of red, the last colour of the spectrum, fierce and bold. He is beautiful on his own  proud and uncaring. I find comfort in knowing you exist, little darling.

You are neither soft or hard but you are both, you are strong in the gentlest way and that's absolutely amazing. You are wonderful and I love you in every sense of the word. I love you in between laughter and tear stained cheeks, I love you when the sky bleeds purple and pink, fighting for that flicker of eminence before the night sky swallows it whole. Have you ever noticed how sunset differs, no same shade of yellow or streaks of pink ever appears twice coating the sky. It's different, everyday it's a different mixture. The same routine day by day but always changing, always as magnificent as the last one. You're like sunsets too I guess, a constant change but still so beautiful in every form. You're the next best thing after sunsets.

Little darling, you have so much love in you I wonder how your tiny little heart carry such power. Maybe that's why every time you smile, people feel the warmth of your soul, maybe instead of eyes, your smiles are you window. I have read countless times of eyes that carry the universe, of constellations mapped in between crevices of irises and I never truly believed in romance novel until I met you. I believe if I look hard enough I can name every star known to men and still have a handful left when I look into your eyes. All these cheap metaphors suddenly make perfect sense.

Happy birthday little darling. Another year to tackle, another year to grow into best versions of ourselves. I wish you all the happiness the world could offer and more. I wish you'll go to places you've never been, meeting people you've always wanted to meet, seeing things you've never seen. I wish you continue to be kind and selfless regardless of how cold and harsh the world is. I wish you'd overcome challenges and grow from it. I wish you health and prosperity, longevity and resilience. I wish you can sleep with a clear and head more often and wake up with an even clearer goal. I wish you'd take joy in the things you love, making music or photography I wish the best of luck. I wish you'd receive all the love you've ever given tenfold, maybe even a hundredfold, you deserve so much more than you could ever imagine. I hope when you're sad you'll remember that you are not alone in this journey and there's a whole community out here cheering you on alongside you family and friends. I hope we can give you comfort even just a little. I wish you would stop apologising for being you, for your silliness, for your tender little heart, for being human. I don't need you to be anything that you are not, little darling. I love you and I want you (to be happy).

happy birthday
