ALONGSIDE AWARE ATTUNED ASSURED ACCEPTED ALIGNED AFFECTION ALWAYS Alongside the ones who steady us Aware of the truths they carry Attuned to laughter shared freely Assured that storms can be weathered Accepted without mask or measure Aligned in quiet, loyal ways Affection held without condition Always the bond remains

ALONGSIDE AWARE ATTUNED ASSURED ACCEPTED ALIGNED AFFECTION ALWAYS Alongside the ones who steady us Aware of the truths they carry Attuned to laughter shared freely Assured that storms can be weathered Accepted without mask or measure Aligned in quiet, loyal ways Affection held without condition Always the bond remains
