00:00Hey, can I talk to you about something?
00:03It's a bit awkward.
00:06I'm sure you know that I've noticed your scars.
00:10And never said anything.
00:13Never asked you about them.
00:17And I've noticed the way you hesitate sometimes.
00:20You know, when I'm around and you are showing more skin than usual.
00:27And you shy away from me.
00:30Like, parts of you aren't meant to be seen.
00:34But I don't say anything.
00:37Because if you wanted to talk to me about it, you would.
00:42Because it doesn't really matter.
00:45And I don't need to know.
00:48I don't need to know why, in order to care about you.
00:53I just...
00:55I wish you could see what I say.
00:58Because when I look at you,
01:01I don't say something to be ashamed of.
01:05I say someone who's been through things.
01:08And...
01:10Is still here.
01:13Still strong.
01:15Still trying.
01:17Still beautiful in a way that feels...
01:20Real.
01:22Those parts of you, you try to hide.
01:26They don't scare me.
01:28They don't push me away.
01:32They are even sort of...
01:35Beautiful.
01:37They are a part of you and make you who you are.
01:41Your past and struggles made you who you are.
01:47And I like who you are.
01:50If anything...
01:52They make me want to be closer.
01:55Not to stare.
01:57Not to judge.
01:59Just to understand you.
02:02To be someone you don't have to dance up around.
02:07You don't have to explain everything.
02:10You don't have to have it all figured out.
02:14You can just...
02:17Be...
02:17Here...
02:18With me.
02:21And...
02:22Yeah...
02:23I know trusting someone like that isn't easy.
02:26But I'm not going anywhere.
02:29I definitely don't want to rush you.
02:33Or pull out anything you're not ready to share.
02:37I just want you to feel safe enough to exist.
02:41As you are.
02:44Not perfect.
02:46Not hidden.
02:47Not hidden.
02:49Just...
02:50You.
02:52And if you ever feel like letting me in a little more...
02:58I promise you are safe with me.
03:01Because you deserve to be sane.
03:04And wanted.
