You’ve been holding it all together. Pretending. Bracing. Trying not to fall apart. But not here. Here, you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to explain. You don’t even have to speak. You just have to listen. Let me slow you down. Let me hold you still. Let me be the one who gets to say: It’s okay now. I’ve got you. And if it feels too tender… good. That means you’re close. So close, I can feel you giving in. And now? So will I.
