This afternoon, Justin Bieber, singer kind of on hiatus, very briefly posted then deleted then once again posted a poem he wrote to his soulmate—and "god's greatest creation"—Hailey Baldwin on Instagram. There's a lot to take in with Bieber's original work, and thankfully, screenshots were taken to preserve the first draft. Here, the tribute Bieber shared to his wife:
And the text in full:
Sunlight falls into the Abiss
Just like i fall into your lips
Waves crash onto the shore
My love for you grows more and more
Sound of the crickets a true meditation
I think of you, gods greatest creation.
As i fall into this blissful state
I i ponder on how you’re MY SOULMATE
Its getting dark to dark to see
A chilling breeze embraces me
The smell of camomile fresh from the garden
My life is a movie that both of us star in.
Speaking of stars I’m starting to see some
They light up the sky, reminds me of my freedom
How big and how vast our world is around us
So grateful for god we were lost but he found us
So i write the poem with him always in mind
Things all around us
Just get better with time
I fall more in love with you everyday.
You have walked hand and hand with me as I get my emotions, mind body soul in tact. You have given me so much strength support encouragement and joy. I just wanted to publicly honor you! I hope you have a great shoot today :)
Bieber later posted a slightly corrected version of it to his Instagram, where it remains up. The spelling of 'abyss,' notably, is fixed:
Alyssa Bailey is the senior news and strategy editor at ELLE.com, where she oversees coverage of celebrities and royals (particularly Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton). She previously held positions at InStyle and Cosmopolitan. When she's not working, she loves running around Central Park, making people take #ootd pics of her, and exploring New York City.
