We both know how you always refuse people, how you keep them at a distance, and that’s fine. I’ve never blamed you for it. I’ve always understood, and I always will. I love you exactly as you are—I love you not despite these things, but because they make you who you are. It’s not your fault that you’re broken, You don’t deserve the pain that haunts you, So let me be with you. Let me stand by your side, to love you the way you deserve—to be accepted without conditions, to be held without hesitation. I will always be here, willing to stay, no matter how many times you push me away. You can build walls, you can run, but I will wait for you, just as the sun waits for the moon to rise. We don’t have to carry our suffering alone. Let’s learn how to live, how to heal, how to exist in a world that has not always been kind to us. Let’s suffer together, and in that, let’s find a way to survive. (lamuerte—tomydeadpoetry)
