Not every place feels like home,
Not every voice makes silence soft.
But with you,
I stop rehearsing.
I stop pretending to be "fine."
My edges soften
Words fall out, unpolished.
I laugh too loud.
I cry without warning.
I don’t apologise for being messy.
There’s no mask here.
No need to be strong all the time.
You don’t fix me
You just stay.
And somehow, that heals more.
I don't feel watched.
I feel seen.
Not judged — just known.
This is where my guard drops.
And I finally breathe...
