We may not share blood,
but somehow
you still became family.
Not by name,
not by relation-
just by the way
you stayed.
You walked into my life
so unexpectedly,
yet your presence
started feeling like home.
You listened to the things
I never said out loud,
and understood me
without needing explanations.
Some people are connected by blood,
but we...
we were connected by fate,
by comfort,
by a bond this world can't define.
