You don't need someone who chooses you.
You need someone who knows why they're choosing you — someone who chooses you with clarity, with care, with consistency.
Not out of loneliness. Not out of timing. Not because they're bored or healing or curious about who you might become. But because they've seen you, truly seen you, in your gentleness, in your quiet — and they didn't look away. They didn't flinch. They didn't ask you to be softer, or smaller, or easier to love. They recognized the weight of your soul and decided they were willing to carry it. Because anyone can choose you when you're perfect and life is beautiful. But real love sees you in the shadow and stays. Not because it has to, but because it wants to.
