That night

 To the love of my life,

That night…

when your eyes welled up because of me,

I didn’t just hurt you —

I shattered a part of myself too.

You were silent,

but your silence was screaming.

And I… I failed to listen.

Now when you say,

“If it was my fault, I’ll say sorry myself” —

it stings deeper.

Because the fault was mine,

and even your sorry feels like a wound I don't deserve.

I’m not in a place to ask for anything.

Just want you to know —

your smile is now my responsibility,

your silence my test,

and your tears… my biggest defeat.

I’ll change myself,

a little every day,

just to make sure your eyes never have to cry again.

So please…

open that heart of yours

just a little,

and let me earn my way back in.

Forever yours,

The one who loves you more than words ever could.
