Once, he was the 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚—the 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 I wished to erase. But without me realizing it, he quietly became the reason I started to 𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆  again, the soft light after years of feeling lost in the shadows. He didn’t just heal me; he made me believe in healing. He took my brokenness and, with patience, turned it into something beautiful. The 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒔 I thought would always define me, became 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒔 that guided me toward something I never thought possible—𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆. 𝑨 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆. A 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 that felt like 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝒔𝒖𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕  after years of living in a 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒎. I’d never known what love was, not really—not from anyone. Not from my parents, not from anyone else. But with him, everything was different. With him, I found peace. 𝑰 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆. In that quiet, sacred moment, I finally let go. I let go of the past, of the pain, and I slid my hand into his, not looking back. All I had was hope, and with it, I stepped into a new beginning. A 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 where love wasn’t just a distant dream, but the reality I could finally live.𝑨 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏𝒕 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆. -★𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 I was once told to stay away from her, to be the 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 she should never let into her life. I was meant to be the one who hurt her, the one she would eventually  𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕. But  𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆 had other plans, and 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈. The reason my 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒔.

Terrified that it could be too much for her, that I might be the 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒎 she’s never asked for. The fear grips me because all I ever wanted was to protect her, to make her world better, to be the one who 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅.

I want to be the quiet, gentle force that helps her heal, that soothes every wound. I don’t just want to be in her life—𝑰 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 I’m not perfect. I’m broken in ways she doesn’t see.

I will be the reason she knows she’s never alone, the reason she believes that real love is the one that heals, the one that stays, even when everything else falls apart.
