But You Meant It
You rambled. Your raw voice cracked, it trembled, it paused. You were imprecise, emotional, awkward. And rightfully so. Too honest? Too messy? Too vague? Too weak? Too loud? Sometimes too much. Often not enough. But you meant it. Back then, when your words were real, someone still stayed for the feel. ©Samia Oldman

"But you meant it."
The ones who stayed
were not staying
for the precision.
They were staying
for the thing
underneath it.
