things i'll never say out loud

rome.

when the doubts come, you reassure me

when i have a hard time catching my breath,

you calm me down.

when negativity poisons my head,

your positivity heals every part of my body

i asked you, "after all this time, why haven't you give up yet?"

you looked at me and answered wholeheartedly,

"you, darling. you are worth everything. I will do everything to calm the storm inside of you

no i won't make any promises, but i will try, do my best. I've seen you shatter, we will build

each other again, and again, and again until we are stronger and better just like Rome. I won't promise that all of this would be gone, but if i can promise you one thing...

"that is you don't have to go through this alone. You have me."
