Lay Down the Heavy Armor Tonight
The day is finally slowing down, and the armor you wore for twelve hours is heavy enough to drop. But in this quiet, when someone looks at you with simple kindness, your mind instantly writes a story where they betray you. It feels like protection. It feels like wisdom. But it is just the exhaustion talking.
There is a love that does not need you to be perfect to stay. A love that sees the mask and loves the face beneath it anyway.
You do not have to earn the right to be held tonight.
The light inside you is greater than the fear that tries to dim it.
