Milo.

I swear they have souls.

Running to me every single time. Watching every tear cut through my eye lashes. Staying calm as I throw fists through walls and scream at the nightmares. I’m your world and you choose me every single time.

I think that’s more than an instinct. I know you feel all these things too. You wake to greet me regardless of how much sadness I hold.

And I didn’t rescue any part of you- I think you could have built a home in anything. You chose me in some part of this universe. But, I let you roam freely in knowing that you’ll walk back to me every single time.

And I know one day, when you’ve used up the entirety of this world, you’ll calmly give into the peace and stay with my spirit until I’m called to do the same. But I can’t bring myself to think too much about it. Because right now you give me peace and laughter and clarity and I think that’s part of your magic. I think it’s part of your soul. -AMT©️
