The moment they spoke acceptance

The moment they spoke acceptance, their eyes already softened toward something final, and I felt it like a door closing that I hadn't known was still open. What was in their face: not peace, but exhaustion wearing the shape of peace. And in me: not certainty that they were wrong, but a sharp wanting to pull them back from that edge. Whether that wanting was for them or for me, whether I was seeing them dimly too, through my own need to not be the only one still reaching, I couldn't sort in that moment. I'm still not sorting it now. Only that it mattered, that I felt it, that I'm here in this water-facing corner because something in me won't let the question rest.
