A revealed secret

When your loved one tells you they have something to tell you.

The bombshell is about to be delivered.
Mentally you prepare for the worst.
Is your armor strong enough?
You must perceive with an open mind.
Caught off guard by what you have learned.
The damage caused a wound, but not too deep.
It can be healed without leaving a scar.
Afterwards it is realized that no love has been lost.
Perhaps our love has even grown.
