Moments You Should Seize

Oh babe, thank you for being so patient with me. I know I'm not the quickest study sometimes…

You know, when we both had those unfortunate reminders of the fragility of human existence, I spent a lot of time thinking about it, about how tragic it would be for our love story to end here. About how to make sure we're at least a few more steps down that path. Maybe more. Maybe a lot more.

And then there was that song you told me about… It wasn't the part you mentioned, but it has that one bridge about moments you should seize… And then last night, when you said something about not letting opportunities pass you by…

But at first, I could only focus on big things. Atom-bomb sized things. And, I mean… I'm still thinking about those things…

But I realized, you've been showing me… those moments we should seize? They don't have to be the big things. We don't have to level cities. It can be things like…

…messaging each other out of the blue about… just… whatever…

…you holding out your hand… and me taking it… even if it was only only for a moment…

…you finding something fun to do, and inviting me to it…

And it's not that the bigger things are off the table, it's just… well, when a moment presents itself, seize it. Because who knows what tomorrow might bring?

You're always so much better at this stuff than I am, love… but I'm getting it. And I will never stop appreciating your patience… Or you showing me branches along that narrow path that I would have otherwise walked right on past…

I love us, babe. I love that we're on this path together, and how we collaborate to navigate it. God, I love you.

I just love you.

So, let's see what moments await us, my love! And even make a few of our own, yeah? Yeah.

Love you, babe.

Yours.
