To be loved is to be seen
not to be asked for less of what spills
it is to be met in the middle of the blur
when your signal is messy
when you don’t know how to show up
it is to be watched without being corrected
to be held without being edited
to be known without being prepared
does not wait for your outline to sharpen
it recognizes the blur as the proof
that you are still becoming
it listens to the parts of you
that don’t know how to speak
it does not turn away when your timing is off
it leans in and adjusts its own pulse
because love is not harmony
it is someone noticing the shift
and steadying their own breath
when you are trying not to need anything
but as a pattern that keeps flickering
and still makes sense to someone
when you forget how to return to yourself
and does not wait at the door
for the field that made you
