Dear Jaana,
I don’t love you in a dramatic, movie-dialogue way.
I love you in the everyday way — in pauses,
tired moments, and the comfort of knowing you’re there.
You are not someone I need to impress.
You are someone I want to protect —
your peace, your softness,
and even the parts you don’t show easily.
I promise I won’t always have the right words,
but I will always have the intention to understand you.
I’ll stay. I’ll learn. I’ll grow — with you.
You don’t need to earn love from me.
You already have it.
— yours, quietly and completely.
Ayaan
