🌠 How have you been, beneath these skies so wide?
What fills your days, what paths have you now tried?
It's been a while since news of you has come,
like stars unseen behind a clouded sun.

💜 But wherever you are, whatever you do,
I hope that life is being kind to you.
May joy and peace walk with you every mile,
and may your heart find reasons still to smile.

⚔️ The world's a little chaotic, I must say,
wars breaking out in places far away.
I hope you're not enlisting for the fight,
your weapon should be code, not dynamite.
(Just kidding, hahaha 😂)

✨ May every dream you dare to hold come true,
each hope, each wish, each star you're reaching to.
The future stretches wide before your feet
and I just know you'll make it something sweet.

🎓 Oh, by the way, I heard you're graduating soon,
I want to come and see you on that stage,
the proudest chapter on the proudest page.
Wherever it is, whenever the date,
I'll be there cheering, even if I'm late.
(I might bring confetti. No promises on cleanup. 🎊)

👋 See you very soon, Ilaa.
The stars will keep your seat warm until then. ⭐
