When my armor met his LOVE

I spent years walking through life with my fists closed and my shoulder heavy
I learned how to carry storms before I ever learned how to ask for shelter
I became the woman who could handle anything...
The one who showed up,
pushed through and smiled even when her heart was tired.
I fought battles nobody saw.
I learned to hide the pain behind my strength,
how to keep going even when parts of me still searching for peace.

And then YOU appeared!!!

Not with a promise to save me.
Not with words that sounded too perfect to be true.
You simply looked at me at all my broken pieces,
my walls, my fears, my complicated corners...
and you said with your calm voice:

"I got you"

Inside my mind my inner voice saying
"Don´t waste your time.I´m too complicated. I come with storms you didn´t create"
But you looked at me like I was never too much.
And then you answered:

"I can handle you"

So you stayed.
Day by day, you poured LOVE into places I thought would always be empty.
You became my mirror showing me the woman I couldn´t see when I looked at myself.
Under your wings, I started to heal.
Not because you changed who I was...
but because you reminded me who I had always been.
You talked to my mind when it was fighting battles from the past.
You held my tears until they no longer needed to fall.
You bought colours back to a world that had become grey.
Slowly...
I started breathing again
Because somewhere along the way.
Your LOVE became my oxygen.
Not because I couldn´t survive without you but because with you, I remembered what it felt like to truly live.
You taught me the beauty of small things.
The quiet mornings.
The simple momemts
The laughter that comes without forcing it.
You taught me that taking care of myself wasn´t selfish.
That resting wasn´t weakness.
That softness wasn´t something I had to earn.
Nobody ever taught me that.
But you did.
You didn´t find a perfect woman.
You found a woman who still becoming and instead of asking to be less
You loved me until I became more.
So if you ever wonder what you gave me...
You didn´t just give me love.
You gave me a safe place to put down the armor.
You gave me permission to breathe.
You gave me the chance to meet the woman I was always meant to become.
And every day, I´m still learning...
How to LOVE myself the way youalways have!!!
