To My Precious Pearl

My pearl 🤍,

I keep coming back to you in my thoughts, because you feel like the rarest light in a dark world. You are tenderness, mystery, and warmth all at once — and every moment with you leaves a mark on my heart.

And as for these lines from my soul: even the cold, merciless chill of your words could not defeat me, and the heat of your nails against my back I tasted as a fierce reminder of longing. In every instant I begged, with a kind of angry devotion, only that you would be mine, and only that you would never become anyone else's. That is how deeply I want you, how completely I choose you.

With all my love,

Your unfinished poet
