as you are

and as you are, i stand north of your bed. i lay my halo over you just so you can keep warm from the cold world that surrounds you. i lay my wings over you so i can protect you from the harm that the wrongdoers are inflicting upon you. i keep my eyes on you so that nobody else will touch you ever again, because nobody will. i cover you with my robes so you can wipe your tears with them. i pull down the stars from the high heavens just so that they can sing for you, and i will put them on your skin. i will put them on your skin so you can shine brighter than anyone else. whenever someone meets you, they will be blinded by the light you radiate. because as you are, you look perfect to me.

as you are, i will love you. as you are, i will inhale your thoughts and exhale your love. as you are, i will shine a light on you and keep you safe. as you are, you are like me.

dear heavens, today an angel was born, and i miss them already.
