Each version of you...
I tried to hold close to my heart. From loving it gently to bruising it deeply, every version left its mark.
What makes this journey beautiful is that not a single version of you ever failed to make me fall madly in love...with a constant desire to stay close to you forever.
True love is when ego fades and stubbornness subsides, especially when you realize that the suffering they endured was born from your own fears and insecurities.
