Dear Piya,
I have a lot going on in my life right now.
It makes me sad to not be able to write to you as much as I should.
But I have something very special to share with you tonight.
As you sleep beside me right now, I am experiencing the same inexplicable feeling of my chest melting into rose petals within. There is something simply heavenly about you, my sleeping beauty!
The nagging thought of letting this moment get away without capturing it hit me hard, darling, which is why I just had to share this with you:
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try,
I can never find the perfect way,
To tell you just how much I love you.
To say all that my heart beats to say.
All I know is that I smile.
And that smile stretches up to my chest.
All I know is that I am quite average,
But with you, somehow, I feel the best.
No matter how hard I try,
I doubt I will ever be able to
Express what you mean to me
Beyond the soft sighs of ‘I love you’.
All I know is that I love.
And that love fills me from top to toe.
All I know is that you fill my eyes
With tears of joy like I have never known.
No matter how hard I try.
I just don’t know why
Being with you is the best feeling -
One that makes words feel oh so shy...
My little girl, my darling,
My sweet pea, my munchkin...
I love you to eternity & back;
Like I have never known love before.
You make my heart outgrow my breath,
With an inexplicable bliss-filled downpour.
I feel so happy, I could cry...
I will never really know why,
No matter how hard I try...
Still not sure what more to say to do justice to how you make me feel...
I love you, my baby. Always have. Always will...
Love,
Maa.
