This is what doing the work looks like.
Not fixing. Not rushing. Not filling the silence with your own discomfort.
I'm not afraid of the pause. I can hold the line.
I won't rush you. I won't fill the space with noise just to make myself comfortable.
I won't mistake your quiet for absence. Or your distance for not caring.
I'll be here. Still. Patient. Steady.
Because sometimes the most loving thing you can offer another person isn't words.
It's the proof that you can stay while they find theirs.
This is what courage looks like in a relationship. Kneeling down. Holding on. Not letting go.
