I dare to stare into your eyes,
long enough to make you forget
there was ever a before me.
Your story clean, sacred
untouched by ruin.
You speak of forever like it’s certain,
like the unplanned
doesn’t exist.
I dare to stare into your soul,
soft… unguarded.
A fragile kind of beauty
that has never learned
how to break without shattering.
You smile like nothing has ever
asked something from you
and taken more.
I dare to stare into your mind,
wide with untouched dreams.
You have never had to survive them—
only imagine.
No shadows linger there,
no hands that stayed too long,
no echoes that refuse to leave.
I dare to stare into your heart,
whole.
No fractures.
No hidden rooms you’re afraid to enter.
Just light
reckless in its innocence
never tested by storm
or silence.
And still…
I stand here,
knowing exactly what I carry.
So tell me
how long before looking at me
changes
everything you are?
