Let Them Know
a small essay
Let them know of the way they laugh. Let them know of the way they work. Their honesty, which gets lost in the hours they put in. The humility that hides behind a cacophony of platitudes and pretentiousness, they often find themselves surrounded by.
Let them know of their passions. The sparkle in their eyes. The joy on their faces. The heart they’ve spread out on their canvas, their vulnerability that stands in the fog of the world’s viciousness.
Let them know their voice is pleasing to hear. Their laughs, infectious. Let them know that a minute dose of their presence makes your life bearable for another week.
Let them know they matter. They make you happy. They deserve to know.
