OlajumokeME,
Thank you
For every boundary you quietly crossed,
Not carelessly,
Not foolishly,
But lovingly.
For the nights your strength was already finished
Yet you searched for one more smile to give me.
For the days your schedule was tight as a clenched fist
Yet you opened it
Just so I could fit inside.
Thank you
For every comfort you postponed,
Every rest you delayed,
Every “I’m tired” you swallowed
Because my joy mattered more.
You stretched beyond convenience,
Beyond mood,
Beyond pride,
Beyond what was easy.
You bent your time,
Adjusted your plans,
Shifted your preferences,
Just to make space for my desires.
And I saw it...
Even when you said nothing.
Even when you acted like it was small.
Even when you made sacrifice look ordinary.
Love is not always loud.
Sometimes it is hidden
In the extra mile walked without announcement,
In the extra effort no one applauds.
So today I say it clearly...
Thank you
For every limit you stretched
Beyond yourself
To please me.
May I never take for granted
The silent elasticity of your heart.
May I learn to stretch too...
Beyond ego,
Beyond comfort,
Beyond selfishness...
..To keep pleasing you too,
My Elastic Babe,
Happy Birthday
