Striving

Months have gone by and I love you more than the first day I set eyes on you.
Not a day has gone by that I don't desperately need your presence.
Every morning, I dread you leaving our nest.
Every evening, I quiver at the onset of slumber, because it's hours I can't absorb you.
It's hours I can't have you acknowledge that you're the best thing to ever happen to my universe.
It's hours I can't constantly say I live only for you.
It's hours I can't look into your eyes and know whatever happens, you're my moon, you're my stars, and you're my everything.
I love you.
