The Soft Revolution

 

My love

I don’t know if words will ever fully capture what you’ve done for me, but I’ll try, because you deserve to know. You’ve changed me. Completely, deeply, and beautifully.

Before you, I was a different person. Not just different in the way I looked at the world, but different in how I existed in it. After that last one-sided affair, I felt shattered inside, like a mirror that had been broken long ago, with no one ever bothering to gather the pieces. I walked carefully through life, trying not to hurt myself more. I apologized for taking up space, for needing love, for being too quiet or too emotional. I kept asking people to stay. I begged for conversations. I lowered myself in friendships that drained me and waited for love that never came. Slowly, I stopped believing in love altogether. It felt like a word people used for comfort, not something real or lasting.

But then, you arrived. And nothing was ever the same again.

You came like a calm breeze, soft and real. You showed me that love doesn’t always have to be loud to be powerful. Sometimes, it’s just someone asking if you’ve eaten, someone remembering the little things you say, someone who listens and truly hears you, someone who asks before doing anything, someone who attracts with even small talks, someone who loves without having conditions. You made space for my thoughts, my fears, and my silence. I didn’t have to explain myself all the time. I didn’t have to act strong or hide anything. With you, I could just be. And somehow, that was enough.

You brought patience into my life. You taught me that healing doesn’t follow a clock. That it’s okay to feel things slowly and deeply. You made me understand that true love gives you time instead of pressure. You made gentleness feel like strength. You were never harsh with me, never dismissive. Your kindness softened the parts of me that were turning cold.

You gave me consistency. My life before you felt scattered, full of short-lived moments and people who came and went without warning. You brought a rhythm, a steady presence that slowly became the most peaceful part of my day. We talk every day. And even in silence, we feel each other. That quiet, invisible connection—it's something I never thought I’d have, but now I can’t imagine my life without it.

You changed the way I saw myself. Where I once felt unloved, uncared for, and unworthy, you showed me affection without conditions. You listened without judgment. You loved without hesitation. I had no one to confide in before you. No one who truly wanted to know how my heart was doing. I used to live in my mind, buried under thoughts I couldn’t share. Now, I share everything with you. Not because I have to, but because I want to.

I was once incomplete. Dreamless. I used to drift from day to day without vision or hope. But you gave me both. You gave me dreams again, even if they’re just quiet dreams of sitting beside you, holding your hand, or hearing your voice when the world feels too loud. You brought warmth into my lonely corners. You made my life make sense again.

You taught me that love doesn’t mean control, or expectations, or perfection. You helped me let go of that pain where people disappointed me just because they didn’t meet the picture I had in my mind. With you, I don’t have any expectations. Not because I expect less, but because I already have everything. I have love, peace, and honesty. That’s all I ever wanted.

I’m not surviving anymore. I’m living. With you. I don’t count days by what I achieve or how much I endure. I count them by the memories I make with you, the words we share, the comfort you bring me without even realizing it.

You gathered my broken pieces without ever making me feel like I was broken. You didn’t fix me. You simply loved me until I started seeing the beauty in myself again. You made me believe that I’m someone worth loving. And that belief, Kiran, is the most precious gift anyone has ever given me.

You are more than enough for me. You always have been. And now, because of you, I’m more than I ever was before.

Forever yours.
