Life started pulling us in different directions.
You were working hard in school,
and I was slowly piecing together what kind of life and career I wanted.

We didn’t get to see each other often,
but your support never wavered.
You always made space for my dreams,
even when time and distance made it hard.

And the moments we did get together,
when you visited me, even for a little while,
meant everything in the world.
Those were the days I held onto.
The ones that reminded me:
love doesn’t disappear when life gets busy, it grows quieter, deeper, stronger.
