You had a way of healing me without a single word
like starlight melting quietly across a winter night
You held my breaking pieces with a grace you never heard
not knowing you were turning all my fractures into light
Your soft unchosen kindness shaped a gentleness in me
making space for hope to bloom in corners left for dead
You watered silent gardens only broken hearts could see
and warmed the frozen echoes where my loneliness had spread
If time could show you clearly all the warmth you left behind
you’d see the way your presence stitched the places once undone
You’d know that even sorrow felt less heavy in my mind
because your love was quiet
but it always gently won
In the next life may your sweetness find the peace it gave
and may the tenderness you offered be the gift you save
For every healing moment I have dared to brave—
was born from
the tenderness
you didn’t know you gave
