LOVE


Lets talk about me…

I always admired you from a distance


I didn’t truly know what it’d be like to have you 

so the dreams I had of you were never complete


I thought of you…constantly

wanting. yearning for your presence


I saw you everywhere,

so much that I couldn’t ever get you off my mind


But I barely knew you


and because of this I painted an image of you 

that wasn’t real


an image of you that was so perfect that it 

was toxic to me…


And so I gave up on you


But Lets talk about you…

And how amazing you are.. not the image I painted of you before but the actual you..


The raw and uncut truth of you

the you that is so different with everyone 

because you make each connection so personal


You changed my mind 

A mind that I thought had been made up


You taught me what it means to be cared for but more importantly what it means to care for myself


You have shown me how to build bridges and how to be open minded


but most of all you helped me realize the importance of forgiveness.


You looked so good from afar, but you look even better now that you are in my life… Now that you are my life.


It sounds crazy but everything I am now is because of you.


which brings me to the we


and oooooh the we

yeah it sounds exciting right?


yes we’re the duo now

and when they see me your name always comes up


I hype you up and you hype me ,we hype each other 

together we’re just so passionate


And when I’m sad you remind me of all the reasons I should smile

we’re so intertwined you’ve permanently left a Mark

 I just` love… oops I think I slipped your name 


But even if they think they heard me say it, it doesn’t mean they know about you…


You are 

Learning 

Learning to understand those around you


You are 

Offering 

Offering your knowledge in hopes of making a difference


You are 

Value

Valuing your worth and seeing that value in others


You are

Enough


You are

Love
