The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

would you still love me

would you still love me if my flaws were bare,
if shadows clung to the corners of my heart?
can warmth persist when the truth lays bare,
or would the weight of sins pull us apart?

I hide the whispers of my darkest days,
yet in the light, I crave your steady gaze.
in every stumble, every fight,
would you still hold me close within your sight?

with each confession, would your kindness swell,
or would my burdens be too much to tell?
in love, we weave a fragile, tender thread,
together, can we face what lies ahead?
