๐๐๐๐๐!! Thatโs all! โฆ (this is me pulling it back!!) ๐ฅฐ โฆ ah, okay, just an extra word or two is okay! Your smile!!! At the end!! If you capture it at 2:50 p.m. โ AAAH!!!!! I feel like my old Italian aunts!!! You know, the ones who are 4-foot 7 in heels!!! (Iโm 6 feet, I promise โฆ 6โ3โ in heels!!) and they just melt when they see you!!! After saying, โYouโre so *skinny*!!! What are they feeding you?! You gotta eat!!! Sit down, Iโm cookinโ up some spaghetti!!!โ But really, itโs just they canโt get enough of your face!!! โWhat a face!!!โ Those three words you would hear over and over and over again!!! I yell it, too!! โWhat a face!!!โ Your face is so *spectacular* on you!! โI just wanna pinch it!!!โ And you see their fingers are itching to do it!!! Iโd be nervous if I were you!! Itโs all they can do to hold back!! Youโre so pretty. Youโre the prettiest woman who has ever been. I can say that so effortlessly and without hesitation. It rolls out of my heart without even thinking. Life feels so alive and new and *fresh!!!* And if thereโs anything weighing down a heart, I swear it all feels immediately lighter. I forget whatever it was I was thinking about! Something that seemed so important and was weighing me down, I swear I canโt even remember it now! What a gift. What a vision! You should be on every television!! Lay down *that* social media law, please!! The whole *world* would feel in heaven!! I know people would be happier, for starters! I still canโt believe there is someone as beautiful as you in the world. I really canโt. And you are so smart. I marvel at your ease and command. You make those who love you so proud. Proud isnโt a big enough word. Blessed is more like it. There are a lot of circles and tribes. Thereโs a lot of coldness and sadness across the lot in too many. To be of your circle, well, you light the whole thing. Those in your circle thrive, they become illuminated inside! Simply by knowing you. Every time they see that magnificent and spectacular face of yours. Something clutches right in the middle of my chest. The tear ducts start to open a little bit. Thereโs always this eternal moment of breathlessness, that might last a second, or days, I canโt tell! Like that moment in meditation they talk about when youโre really โin it,โ and yet itโs something you canโt recall. That clutching that has by this time moved up to my throat releases, into this glorious exhalation! Like a tide that was receding now gushes relentlessly back in!! And this warmth spills over! All over, to every limb, and I feel it extend outside of me at least a few inches! And the last thing I notice is that Iโm smiling. If you had a mirror in front of your face everywhere you go, thereโd never *be* a time when youโre not smiling, too! (โThank you, Chandler Bing.โ) Well, until you walk into the back of a parked truck. So, probably best you go on memory, too, and leave the mirror in your clutch or at home! It works for me! The memory, I mean! I carry the memory of your face, when strangely I could never form faces in my memory no matter how well I ever knew anybody! I donโt know why that is. But, yours? Itโs etched in the memory banks. It saves me on days when I need that burst of sun from inside of me. Yours is the only face that will do it! My fingers are itching. I wanna pinch it!!! โAH, what a FACE!!!!โ Iโm Italian, too!! I canโt help it!! You light up the world. You really do. Youโre the prettiest girl in the world. Youโre seen, and whatever was bothering me is forgotten! Wiped from my memory! I still canโt remember it now! Must not have been too important! And, in its place, your face. I carry the memory with me, and the love spills into everything I do. Itโs really the truth. If I ever do anything good, know it is in big part due to you. Youโre so beautiful. Oh, what a face!!๐ฅฐ ย
*That wasnโt much more than โan extra word or twoโ, right? Ah, whoโs counting!! Weโre counting on you!! Like a little kid whoโs seen something impressive. Jumping up and down!! โDo it again!! Do it again!!โ Thatโs the feeling! Do it again, please! We canโt wait until the next time youโre seen!! โค๏ธ
