Dedication Page

To you, This is not just a collection of poems, but a reflection of a year spent learning— learning to love and to grow,  and to choose wisely . Every word is drawn from my heart, every pause, every thought, every feeling, captured in the hope of becoming a better person. I used tools to help shape my words, but the feelings, the care, the reflection— those were mine alone. May these pages remind you not only of what I feel, but also of the journey I am on to be someone worthy of your respect, your trust, and, someday, your love. And if the days feel long, the nights unsure, know that each line carries patience and care. Every verse whispers a promise, soft but true— that growing hearts can love, and hearts can endure. — Heldo Perinal
