I knew.

Even when he couldn’t say it yet.

I knew.

Even when it broke my heart to not hear those three little words back.

I knew.

Because his actions spoke louder than words ever could.

I could feel his love.

It was his gentleness, his calm demeanor, his kindness. It was the tiny gestures he did without thinking.

How can you deny that love?

When you catch the way he looks at you when he thinks you’re not paying attention and you see a face so enamored with you, you don’t know how someone could ever see you that way.

It is a love that could be felt even before we both realized what it was.

On the day you were born, flowers everywhere burst into bloom.

Daughter of Earth, sing your joyous songs and laugh your raucous laugh, today we celebrate.

How many times have we made this trip and danced this dance?

Why do we even count?

Let us just enjoy.

Sweet girl, you are everything pleasing and inviting to the senses.

You are comfort and decadence.

You walk in beauty and surround yourself with excellence.

Born under the stars of the bull, my stubborn, laughing, girl, rejoice! Your season has come.

Step by step.

Slow, deliberate movements.

Arms outstretched, she pulls new life into being.

Evergreen, Persephone, the goddess always in bloom.

The snow melts under her feet as she banishes winter and wakes the earth from her slumber.

Gaea, arise, you are reborn ageless, draped in verdant beauty.

Persephone awaits you.

Call Diana’s moonlit maidens to join the dance, Spring has come.
