Regardless of time or distance,
my heart aches to be with you.  
I miss your face,
my calm amidst life's storms; even a picture brings comfort.  
Spending time together is even better. When missing you feels overwhelming,
I sense your presence—your breath in mine,
your sight in my eyes,
your warmth enveloping me.
I feel our love and togetherness,
our sweet destiny.  
Missing you is inevitable,
but the joy of being with you makes it worthwhile.  
Missing you is simply a part of our connection.

When a cloudy thought begins to chase that smile away,
I've already chosen the sun to light up your darkest day.

I dream in vividness and colors so bright, I speak with gentle cheer,
So you may take a deep breath and breathe when heavy doubts draw near.

In every roadblock, I'll believe in you
With steadfast faith, I'll help you break through.

So you can always lean on me when deep shadows start to grow,
My heart will shine the light through to you; I'm here if you need to know.

Some days I fade into the color gray,
A measly shadow passed along the way.
Seems like people walk through me as if I'm air,
It's almost like I'm not really there.

But then came you, and I feel known.
In your eyes, I don't feel alone.
You know the spark that's hid inside.
It's you who've made it come alive.

You've found all the pieces I've misplaced,
There have been tears cried just for you.
They are just from my ache of needing you too.
You've spoken my name like it has a powerful weight,
Like I'm no longer lost, and you've been worth the wait.
Where others have just given a glance, you truly see me.
Not who I was, but all I'll be.
In every night's silence in the dark,
You find and trace the light within my heart.

So when these days I seem to vanish and I seem so small,
You see me through all of it, you see me in all.
In your gaze, I always feel so new;
I feel visible, real, and special because of you.

The overwhelming moment our souls collided,
This insane connectivity of your presence and mine sure made these feelings hard to hide.
In the moment our eyes met intentionally, there was that cosmic feeling that felt just right.
Like two stars that had passed galaxies before finally colliding in the darkest night.
This internal light, lit for only us, glowed.
But those eyes of yours pulled me in so intensely, it was easy to show.
Through all these sleepless nights of you in my mind, it's like your face is in every shadow.
Your tight hold—I'll never let that feeling of you go.
When you're away, whether five miles or two, or God forbid, even more, I know your grip on my heart is a lovely stain.
Dear heavens above, how are you in my veins?
I'll be the first to admit this obsession is inescapable and seems almost unholy.
But this uniting of our souls, like two flames burning into one now only,
This peace I have found in surrendering my love to you isn't so much like an obsession, as others might view it.
It's a timeless declaration that our souls are connected forever, like they were just meant to fit!

Forgive my attachment, it grips too tight,
My silly ways that spin in flight.
You fill my days with the suns radiant glow,
A warmth from you that makes my spirit flow.  
Your laughter, your words heals, as if they were a soothing balm,
It revives my soul, restores my calm.
Your touch ignites, a blazing spark,
So fierce it starts a fire right in the dark.  
My love for you runs deep and wide,
A rushing tide which I cannot hide.
Just to steal a beat, added with fleeting rhyme,
To stand with you Ray—in forever’s time.

My sweetest man, with our souls tied,
A beautiful secret bond between us where love resides.
No one could know the power of this gentle flame,
This quiet call inside my soul that speaks your name.  
Your kiss, a rush of a flashing bright light,
Always warms my heart through any endless night.
Each tender touch from each other, with loves soft caress,
We weave together as one in sweet loves excess.  
Your hugs, so close, so tight how they hold me near,
My haven you are where all doubts we have disappear.
Our hearts have entwined, leaving no space between,
Our two souls as one, a love beautifully serene.  
But it's in its distance that it weaves a wistful ache,
A longing soft, but enough my heart does break.
My world seems to feel dim without your glow,
Each moment my soul awaits for you to show.  
Its when I see you in the dawn’s first ray,
Your smile baby shines a warmth that lights my day.
My hands always  reach out to empty breeze in the air,
Its then I  feel your love, still lingering there.  
No miles can dim this love in which we share,
My sweetest man, babu you’re everywhere.
In every breath between, our bond holds true,
My heart, my home, belongs to you.

Give yourself some grace.
Don't let others jump ahead in your race.
Even when you're feeling your worst,
like when you're balancing so much,
love yourself a little extra right now; don't let anyone land a single punch.
Take the words spoken to you; let them hit the wall.
Don't let someone's words make you crumble. it almost makes you fall.
Most of all, don't forget to love yourself from the start.
Let only those who support you kindly fill your heart.
You deserve such beautiful and bright things.
Don't let others take away the joy that smile brings.
Don't forget to love yourself. You are a sweet and kind man.
You're a force to be reckoned with; you deserve to stand!
