it's 8 am on thursday morning

to the most beautiful woman -
inside, and out
to me, you are beyond the world
and for the first time in my life,
there is no question: why?

there is no question, why
we aren't still best friends
after all these years,
we are absolutely in love
two girls, smarter than the universe

two girls smarter than the universe
once told me that we were lucky
i told them that my mom and i are so much more than lucky
we are unstoppable -
and happy birthday,
to the most beautiful woman.
