Happy Birthday Molly!

Dear friend,

your presence in the present moment is the best present I could ask for

ironically, speaking of presents, it seems I've forgotten yours

so I'll hope praise and prose will work until I can buy you candy

where to start? your heart is grand, glittering and gold, a beauty far greater than anything this universe could hope to create again

your mind is unparalleled, capable of spinning the world into words with every sentence, understanding the incomprehensible 

every word you write is rose gold dripping from your mind to the paper, your stories paint me in metallic shades I once only dreamed of

I'd never even hoped to meet someone like you before you said hello, never thought that life's game of chance could turn out such a work of art, and yet here you are in all your glory

whoever said that celebrities are the most beautiful has clearly never met you, and yet somehow your outer beauty couldn't hold a candle to that of the soul shining inside you

the spirit that steals my heart a million times over every time you laugh, and a million more when you smile

sometimes the world is unkind, you've been treated as dirt, you are the farthest thing imaginable from dirt, except in the sense that you are the ground under your loved one's feet, a constant presence that draws magic into life

and if you told me that you were a goddess, I wouldn't even blink, because your kind of radiance is almost above humanity and yet so perfectly human no one can look away

I hope you have an incredible birthday, and an even better life, because you deserve it, you deserve enough happiness to stretch from the bedroom where I'm writing this to the moon and back again

love,

your friend who will always, always be by your side
