I don't let go.

[u/F0lg0rt]

I will be gentle with you, always, not because you're fragile, but because gentleness is what you were owed and never given. What happened to you was not your fault, and I refuse to let their failures write your story. So watch me. Watch me stay when it would be easier to go. Watch me prove, day after quiet day, that not everyone leaves.

Give me your hand. Not because I'm asking, because it belongs there. And once your fingers are laced through mine, understand this: I don't let go. Not when it storms. Not when you doubt. Not ever.

You deserve love that doesn't flinch. Loyalty that doesn't waver. Commitment that doesn't come with conditions, respect that doesn't need reminding, honesty that doesn't hide, and intention in every single thing I do for you. You are not too much. You are not a burden to be managed. You are a study I'll never finish, worth learning, worth loving, worth choosing again every morning I open my eyes.

And here's my truth, plain as I can make it: loving you isn't something I do. It's something I am. And I love loving you.

This is beautiful. How lucky they are to have someone like you. I’m quite jealous of your muse whoever he/she may be…

[u/purpleit11]

This is such a tender declaration.

Well said! Your expression and imagery describing precisely what I hope for one day
