open arms come here ~
ch. 01 โ€” open me
before u say anything ~

hey..
it's okay ๐Ÿ’›

i wanted to write u something. not a "we need to talk" something โ€”
a soft something. the kind u read curled up.

scroll, slow ~
quiet you
ch. 02 โ€” i see u

u've been carrying this..
haven't u?

i can see it. in the way ur replies got shorter.
in how u've been holding ur shoulders.
in the little pause before u laugh.

u don't have to. not anymore. ๐Ÿค
hug you
ch. 03 โ€” the moment

so listen to me carefully ~

i forgive you.

fully. completely.
no asterisks. no fine print. no "but next time..".

okay we're okay ๐Ÿ’•
ch. 04 โ€” i get it

i understand.

more than u think i do, actually.

u were tired. and i was a little bit demanding ๐Ÿ’ญ
u were going thru ur own stuff that u didn't even tell me ๐ŸŒง๏ธ
u didn't mean it the way it landed. words are slippery sometimes ๐Ÿฅบ
we were both stretched thin and pretending we weren't.
we let the little stuff pile up till it wasn't little ๐Ÿงบ
u thought i was mad. i thought u were mad. classic us ๐Ÿ™ƒ
it was never really about the thing anyway.. was it ๐ŸŒ™
we're on the same team. even mid-fight. always.
u're a person. and people mess up. and that's okay.
especially when it's u. ๐Ÿ’•
ch. 05 โ€” me too tho

and also..
i'm sorry too.

i wasn't a saint here. i'm not gonna pretend i was. so here ~

for being defensive when i could've just been soft
for not asking how u were actually doing
for adding fuel when i could've added water
for keeping a tiny scoreboard.. (love doesn't keep score)
for not just hugging u and skipping the whole fight
for going quiet instead of just saying i was hurt
for picking the worst possible moment to bring it up
for forgetting, for a second, that we're on the same side
we both made it harder. let's not do that again ๐Ÿค
me too my bad too ๐Ÿฅฒ
ch. 06 โ€” look at us

and on top of all that..

this is who we are when we're not fighting ๐Ÿฅน

all the fights forget themselves. these don't. โœจ

ch. 07 โ€” page 1

so.. can we just
start fresh? ๐ŸŒท

no scoreboard. no past tense. no callbacks to "remember when u..".
just us, again. as soft as we started.

โ€” page 01 of us โ€”
a fresh chapter โœจ
everything before this
is just.. backstory now.
this is where we begin again.
dance
ch. 08 โ€” come here

now.. give me
a big hug ๐Ÿค—

we're okay.
we're more than okay.
we're us. and that's everything.

love u sm bb ๐Ÿ’–
