Muksan

Muskan to everyone else. Muksan to me.

I’m not very good with words.

I never really have been. I go quiet at exactly the moments I should be saying the most, and the things I feel the strongest are the ones I struggle hardest to get out.

So I made this instead — somewhere I could finally say a few of them. Take your time. There’s no rush, the same way there’s never a rush with you.

thank you — for all of it

The thousand small things.

It’s a lot, Muksan. More than I let on — and I’m grateful for every bit of it.

Muskan

you’re on my mind

Here, or not here.

When you’re with me, I’m thinking of you. When you’re not, I’m still thinking of you.

You’re in the quiet moments and the loud ones — the ordinary days, and the ones I’ll never forget.

the song you played me

By My Side.

You played this for me once. Now I can’t hear it without thinking of you — which, lately, is most of the time.

the red thread

An old story says the two people meant to find each other are tied together by a single red thread.

It can stretch. It can tangle. But it never breaks. I think ours found us a long time ago.

— tied, they say, by the old man under the moon.

I’ll keep getting better at saying these things out loud. Until I do, please know this much is always, completely true:

I’m grateful for you.
Every single day.

— always yours
