07 / for you

Happy Birthday.

Write the real thing here. The inside-joke opener, the thing you've been meaning to say, the promise for this year.

A second paragraph for the softer part — how she makes ordinary days feel like something, even from this far.

A short third one to land it. Keep it honest; that's what makes it expensive.

— always yours

08 / distance

The real distance is the hypotenuse

5,900 mi10.5 hrsone leap
a² + b² = c² — and c is a lot smaller than it feels.

09 / to come

We're still so young.

There's a whole list we haven't done yet.
So stay a little reckless. Keep the kid in you loud.
The best parts haven't even happened.

Happy birthday. Let's go grow up slowly.
