i see you
crying in silence,
trying not to be heard,
trying not to be seen.
i see you
wiping away your tears,
trying not to be sensitive,
trying not to be a burden.
all you wanted
was someone to hold your heart
with the same softness
you held theirs.
i’m sorry no one saw you.
but—
i see you.
i hear you.
and i love you.

a letter to my younger self, you were too young to be holding it all in for the sake of others.
