Clouds captured by me

There’s this boy,

who came to my life unannounced.
To teach me what unconditional love was all about.
He showed me what a true laugh was and what tears for someone else meant.
He appeared mid year to change my life for the better.

I was a child.
One that didn’t know how many colors the rainbow had until his soul expose me to all the hues of the chromatic scale.

Music took a new meaning.
One that I started to share with him.
Playing in a greenfield wasn’t a lonely adventure anymore.
Fun was in every corner of the house.

After I met him,
I knew what a real companion was for.
This wonderful boy taught me how to fight, cry, smile and care.
I learned how to protect precious things and how to be vulnerable without being afraid.
A boy who made me make mistakes in the name of love and force me to apologize with honesty.

Sharing is caring, they say.

I decided to give all my love away, then.
And this boy knew how to take it with gentleness and give it to others without hesitation.

There’s this boy,

who came to my life unannounced
To make me a better person every day.
