God, I carry this hope in the quietest way I know. I do not speak it, I do not force it, and often, I even hide it from myself. Because I am afraid— that if I hold it too tightly, I might end up hurting the very things I am meant to protect. But You know, behind all this silence, there is a prayer that keeps repeating without a sound. If he is truly a part of the goodness You have written for me, then bring him closer in the most gentle and rightful way. And if not, do not let this hope turn into a wound.

ABOUT THE HOPE I KEEP IN SILENCE
God, I carry this hope in the quietest way I know. I do not speak it, I do not force it, and often, I even hide it from myself. Because I am afraid— that if I hold it too tightly, I might end up hurting the very things I am meant to protect. But You know, behind all this silence, there is a prayer that keeps repeating without a sound. If he is truly a part of the goodness You have written for me, then bring him closer in the most gentle and rightful way. And if not, do not let this hope turn into a wound.
