i. do not flinch when he reaches out for you. if there is anything in the world he has never wanted to hurt, it’s you. show him you are not afraid of his touch. ii. swallow your fear of blood. it is now a part of him, the blood of others, even his own. do not assume he enjoys it, he has accepted it. you must as well. iii. do not make promises. he won’t believe you. he lives day by day because he has never known the feeling of looking forward to the future. be in the present with him, he will appreciate it more. iv. do not try to change him. he has already done anything possible to change what he is without success. you will only remind him of what he isn’t. you will only remind him of why you deserve someone better than him. v. remember that his edges are rough, he is not used to soft things. he is used to death, blood, and war. forgive him when he bruises you, he doesn’t mean to. forgive him because he knows no different, and know that the last the he wants is to hurt you. vi. do not expect him to lay his head in your lap and lick his wounds. he is used to doing these things alone, allow him that time. as he begins to trust you he will let you in on this time. it is his most vulnerable state, give him time. vii. cup his face but do not tell him you love him. he will not be able to tell you the same because he does not believe it possible of himself. remind yourself that he views his heart as a shriveled stone incapable of human emotions. you know the truth, you know beneath it all he is beautiful. you know he is capable of love and so much more. cup his face and kiss his forehead. remind him of the soft edges he lost long ago.
