I never had to forgive the unforgivable. Because I never gave my heart to someone who’d ask that of me.

You see the edges of me, the frayed parts, the places I usually keep hidden even from myself. And you don’t flinch. You just… look. It’s not a judgment, not even a question, just a steady gaze. And in that, there's a strange kind of ease that unfurls in my chest. A soft unraveling. It makes me want to put down the armor, just for a moment, and let the air get at the raw skin. It's terrifying, this trust; this quiet acceptance.
