Delaney

She's golden, that perfect embodiment of sunshine:
Radiating warmth,
Spreading smiles wherever she goes.
With the kind of brown eyes that just understand
That soak up every wordless emotion like a sponge
Before she gives you exactly what you need
The things you never knew you needed
Like acceptance
Like love
Silent, unwavering support.

She taught me what it means to love unconditionally:
Without borders, without judgement.
How to break through these walls we all build so high up around us.
She taught me how to live in the purest and most sincere sense of the word,
How to keep pushing yourself out into the world
Like you've never been hurt
Like you've never felt hopeless
Like you've never been broken or afraid.

She taught me how to be golden.
