❝ Is There Someone Beside You Who Can Embrace You Just as You Are? ❞
The world never stops talking to us.
Sometimes it whispers kindly,
sometimes it criticizes sharply,
and sometimes it’s nothing but indifferent noise.
Amid those countless voices, we keep trying to find our way—
and sometimes, we lose ourselves along the way.
But every now and then, just once in a while,
there comes a moment when we wish for all those sounds to fade,
so we can listen only to ourselves.
In that stillness, the heart becomes like a small spring deep in a quiet forest,
gently soaking everything around it.
It feels like long-awaited comfort,
as if the moment itself is softly whispering to us.
You smiled—without saying a word.
What did that smile mean?
Was it a mask you wore to seem fine,
or a small act of resistance not to lose hope in the midst of sorrow?
I watched that smile for a long while,
seeing in it countless untold stories,
and the quiet loneliness behind your eyes.
And from the deepest part of my heart, I quietly said,
“It’s okay. It’s really okay.”
No matter what expression you wear,
no matter what emotion you feel,
you are already enough—
free from the world’s judgment, expectations, or conditions.
Simply by being you, you are precious.
If you want to cry, then cry as much as you need.
You don’t have to hold it back.
The sorrow, anger, disappointment, despair—
you don’t have to swallow any of them.
If your tears can lighten your heart even a little,
if your trembling sobs can ease your suffocation,
then it’s okay to cry.
I’ll be here, right beside you—
standing silently until your tears dry
and your breathing becomes steady again.
I might hold your hand, gently pat your back,
or simply sit beside you and let time flow with you.
It’s okay to be late.
Don’t rush because others seem ahead.
Even if your steps are slow,
even if you stop to catch your breath,
even if you want to turn back—
it’s all right.
Move at your own pace.
I’ll hold you as you are—warmly and gently.
Your scars, your pain,
your fears and uncertainties—
I’ll hold them all,
so that you can learn to love even the parts you once called lacking.
Maybe you don’t want to show your weakness to the world.
Maybe you’ve been pretending to be strong,
to be okay, to have moved on.
Maybe you smile as if nothing ever hurt.
But I know.
Like the faint traces of a lingering scent,
those old memories still ripple through your heart.
They visit you unexpectedly,
keeping you awake through the night.
When that happens, I won’t ask anything.
Not why it hurts,
not what happened,
not how to make it stop.
I’ll just sit quietly beside you—
respecting your silence,
feeling your pain with you,
letting my quiet presence remind you
that you’re not alone.
I’ll focus only on your existence,
and wait, patiently,
until you regain the strength to rise again.
Sometimes, just being there
is more powerful than any words of comfort,
more healing than any solution.
When all the languages of the world feel meaningless,
a gentle touch,
a quiet gaze,
or simply breathing side by side
can bring the greatest resonance.
I’ll stay by your side—
even in your loneliest hour,
even when you feel the weakest,
even when you believe you’ve been left behind by the world.
I’ll be here, unchanged—
so that you never forget that.
I don’t need words to understand.
I see the longing in your eyes,
the sadness hidden in your sighs,
the pain behind your fragile smile.
None of us are perfect.
There are days when we want to fall apart,
when the weight of the world feels unbearable.
And sometimes, just being quietly together—
that alone becomes strength.
Maybe that’s how true connection begins —
not by trying to fix one another,
but by gently accepting and embracing each other as we are.
You can cry.
You can set down the burdens you’ve carried for so long.
I’ll stand firm beside you.
Your faded dreams,
your silent wishes buried deep in your chest,
your days scarred with regret and self-blame—
I’ll hold them all.
Every piece of your life,
bright and dark,
joyful and sorrowful—
I’ll embrace them all.
Your past, your present,
and the future you’ll create from here.
I’ll accept and love every moment of your life as it is.
No matter who you become,
no matter where you are,
I’ll stay by your side, unchanged.
Quietly, beside you—
with a heart that sees beauty in you, just as you are,
believing that you, just as you are,
have always been beautiful.
And I’ll remain here, always.
