You've seen me in the light

You've held me in the dark

you've sat with me in a moment

I couldn't name

When I was quiet, unsure

unraveling You didn't ask me to be more

than I was

You didn't rush me into brightness

you stayed

You listened

You let me soften

You let me return

With you I've learned that

love.

doesn't need grand gestures

or perfect timing

just patience

A hand that doesn't let go

when things get quiet

You've watched me stumble

you've watched me begin again

And still, you meet me here

Without expectation.

Without rush

Without needing me to be anything

But real.
