my love language is patience.

my love language is ‘have you eaten today?’

my love language is ‘do you want to talk about it?'

my love language is ‘I’ll be here when you are ready'

my love language is ‘you choose'

my love language is

‘take your time, I’m not going anywhere’

my love language is trusting those words true.

— Wendell Berry from ‘The Long-Legged House’
