still choosing us

Almost the end of June,
another month passing by,
with dreams held quietly in our hands
and hopes we refuse to let die.

I pray for a door to open,
a chance to finally begin,
a place where my efforts are valued,
where a new chapter can start within.

And I pray the same for you,
that life becomes a little kind,
that the weight you carry every day
slowly leaves your heart and mind.

We both come from places
that taught us how to survive,
families with their own storms,
battles we carry inside.

We have our own wounds,
our own fears, our own flaws,
days when loving feels difficult,
days when we struggle to pause.

But somehow, through everything,
through the tears and the pain,
we still find reasons to stay,
to choose each other again.

Maybe love was never meant
to be a perfect road,
maybe it is two tired souls
helping each other carry the load.

I hope we keep learning,
keep growing side by side,
not because life is easy,
but because we choose to try.

May we become softer,
more patient, more true,
building a love that feels safe
for me and for you.

So as June comes to an end,
I whisper this little prayer:
may we find our dreams,
may we heal our scars,
and may we still find each other there.

Because after everything we’ve faced,
after every storm we’ve known,
we are still two hearts learning
how to make a home.
