Franz Kafka // Unknown

Everything I do, every action, is a confession of my feelings.

‘I love you’, whispered across your skin before we kiss. ‘I love you’, trailing behind my fingers as I hold you. ‘I love you’, echoes with every door I open and close in our house. ‘I love you’, stirred in all our late-night teas and early-morning coffees. ‘I am in love with you’, leaking out of every warm laugh, every secret smile, every moment we spend together. ‘I love you’, cradled between our hands, careful and cautious. I am so full of love for you that it trickles down into every action, every idle thought, nothing is meaningless to me anymore. There is intent behind everything I do, my love, and that intent is you. Always you. You.

You gave me life, and a love that fills it with joy. I will grow old cherishing it with you.
