Dear You,

If we are together, I don’t want to be your whole world. I want to be the one who stands beside you while you build yours.

Your first priority should always be you: your peace, your purpose, your growth, your dreams. Because I fell for the version of you who never stopped reaching higher, not the one who lost themselves trying to please the world or me.

I’ll be beside you, not in your way.

I’ll push you to rise, not pull you down.

I’ll speak with you, not over you. Because being together isn’t about who leads; it’s about walking forward side by side, even when the road feels uneven.

Sometimes I think about how happy I am when I’m with you, how I can be so me around you, raw, real, and accepted.

I remember when you said, “Let’s heal together.”

That was one of the most beautiful promises I’ve ever received, and one I still hold close to my heart.

But I’ve learned that connection alone is never enough.

It takes energy, stability, patience, and presence.

It takes two people who choose each other, not just on the good days, but especially when it’s hard.

Because love may be the reason we start, but it’s the effort and care that keep us growing.

I miss the small gestures: the warmth in your touch, the softness in your eyes, the quiet care in your tone.

Those are the things that make me feel seen, the things that remind me that being together is in the details.

Maybe that’s why I never asked you to be perfect.

I just hoped you’d want to fix the parts of yourself that keep you from giving fully, not for me, but for you.

Because when you heal, your love and presence deepen.

And when that happens, everything around you starts to bloom, including us.

Being with someone isn’t about losing yourself. It’s about finding more of who you are, side by side.

It’s about two people growing stronger, learning together, supporting each other through everything.

I wish for us to keep building something real, something tender, something that carries us both through storms and sunshine.

A place where we can be fully ourselves, support each other quietly, and keep blooming together, day by day.

I love you.
