You look at me
like I don’t have to prove anything.
Like I don’t have to perform
or filter myself
or shrink into something easier to hold.
And that—
that is rare.
Because I’ve known what it feels like
to be misunderstood.
To be seen in pieces
instead of whole.
But with you—
there’s recognition.
Like you see me
and don’t flinch.
Don’t try to fix me.
Don’t try to reshape me.
You just… accept me.
And in return—
I find myself wanting
to give you the same.
To see you clearly.
To hold you honestly.
To love you
without trying to change you
into something easier.
Because you’re already
more than enough.
