Keeper of My heart

Not everyone changes your life.
Some simply make it feel safe again.

There was a time

I kept apologizing

For loving too much.

For caring too deeply.

For feeling

More

Than most people knew

What to do with.

Then...

You happened.

You never asked me

To love less.

You never asked me

To become easier

To understand.

You simply stayed.

Even on the days

I pushed you away

Without meaning to.

You loved

The version of me

I was still learning

To accept.

And little by little...

I stopped apologizing

For the size

Of my heart.

Now...

When people ask me

Where I found peace,

I don't think

Of a place.

I think of

The one person

Who never made me feel

Like loving deeply

Was something

I had to outgrow.

Because home

Was never four walls.

It was always...

Someone

Who chose

To stay.
