Thank you @jessurlichs_writer
for always describing so well these words that would never come, for using your words to so aptly describe how i feel.
@deon.woo i love us. I loved u before Layla, i love u more after. In a different way, in a different expression. It made us stronger, it made us stand together more as a team, it forced us to see things from one another's perspective. Sometimes in frustration, words fail us. But i know and i trust you're never far. Sometimes i feel like you need to play catch up in this parenthood, but i know you're always trying. Thank you for still being so generous with our compliments and affection. I love you.
"Dear Husband,
We don’t have a lot of time for just us
but we have our little hour.
In the evenings
Sometimes it’s less
Sometimes it’s more
It all becomes silent, apart from the humming fridge
Or the dishes screaming at us
Or our bed that calls for sleep
I know the day is a freight train through our brains and our eyes are tired.
And our love is quiet.
I don’t need all the things,
Like flowers, or jewellery...
Just how you look at me in my dressing gown
that really needs a wash.
Or the last piece of chocolate.
Or how you seem so taken when I tell you
‘I love you’
like it’s the first time you’ve heard it.
Like you see me.
Like I see you and not all the tasks I need you to do.
While the extension of our love rests down the hallway,
let’s cuddle up.
Let’s not decide on a movie.
Let’s say everything
And nothing.
Until one of us yawns
Until one of them needs us
Let’s just be us
The old and the new.
For our little hour."
