🩹Lee Minho - Lavender

Freedom. It fills your lungs as you inhale the scent of dawn. In the golden rays, it smells of honey and lavender reaching all the way to your fingertips, intertwined with the hands of the person whose existence was like a new dawn all in itself. The reason you are now on the train station platform, suitcases in hand.

Minho feels your hands getting clammy with sweat and holds them up in front of him. For a brief moment he gazes straight into your frenzied eyes, as if he could sense all your tangled emotions, and he gives your hands a reassuring squeeze. "Try not to worry too much." A smile, small but sincere. "It's all good now."

A wave of relief washes over, and you're reminded all over again why you were here in the first place, what you finally gathered the courage to do: To let go. To find yourself.

Let go of the people who confined you, mislead you to believe you were tied to them.

You didn't realize they kept you in chains until he let you soar. You'll always be grateful for the day you first met him at the park next to a lavender bush, your had-been safe place. Only then you realized, if you needed a safe place away from home then it wasn't really a home at all.

With him, you learned that love didn't need to hurt. That happiness never had a lock but if it did the only key was found inside of you.

The sun rises over the station letting golden light flood into the new day. Everything feels bigger, brighter now that you let them go as if you could see everything that was kept of your reach before.

It's going to take time, perhaps a lot of time to fully learn the value you possess, and to give yourself the freedom to do so. But with him beside you, you feel momentarily that, yes, it would all be good now.
