if i'm ever mad at you, just talk to me in a sweeter and softer tone. don't raise your voice or match my anger, because that only makes things worse. i may sound cold or distant, but deep down i just want to feel understood, not fought. a gentle voice can calm me faster than any argument ever could. remind me that we're on the same side, not against each other. sometimes all i need is patience and a little kindness, even when i'm hard to handle. because when love stays gentle, even anger doesn't stand a chance.
