the glass and
see a reflection
I can’t deny.
Hope and pain
sit together
in my eyes,
indistinguishable.
My pulse quickens
for the dream
living in my heart.
I search
for strength,
but love keeps
rising through
the cracks.
And still I stare,
caught in the
truth of my
own longing.

isn't a waste
of time,
not when
a ray of light
still reaches you.
Even the
faintest chance
feels like a
doorway
I can’t ignore.
I move
toward you
with patience,
hoping something
in you feels
the warmth
I offer.
If healing
stirs in
your heart,
it will be time
well spent.

the world opens like soft light
where first love takes root.

threads
its way
through
the noise,
quiet but
unbroken,
insisting on
being felt.
Even as the
world fractures,
it softens
what it can.
We hold
one another
in the storm,
a single touch
becoming
fiercely
relevant.
And somehow,
that small
tenderness
keeps us
human.

if your heart
will ever turn
toward mine,
if acceptance
is a horizon
or a mirage.
Some days
your silence
feels like a
locked gate,
other days
like a door
cracked open
by hope.
I still believe
love is
achieveable,
if only you'd
take a single
step toward me.

isn't measurable,
not something
to be charted
or weighed.
It rises in me
like breath,
constant &
involuntary.
It fills the
silent places
where fear
once lived.
It shapes the way
I move through
every hour.
It's the truth
steadying me,
even when
you can't see it.

I want to say to you
come slowly,
not because
they’re fragile,
but because
they’re specific.
Each one carries
the weight of what
I’ve never
said aloud.
I hold them
on my tongue,
trembling with
intention.
When they finally
reach you,
they'll be true.
