You

You give me something no one else can give
You make me brave
So that I think
We could make something out of this
Life could be so beautiful
But I shouldn't think like this
And yet, I've never felt so seen
So thoroughly understood
You meet me where I stand
And lead me to a higher ground
Just by being you.
Your gaze pierces through me
You unearth me.
I trust in every word you breathe
Your heart has earned my fealty
It's sometimes hard to breathe
When you're there beside me
Thrilling but also comforting
I lean into you so effortlessly
I never worry anymore
If I'm choosing right
Or thinking straight
You're the best bet I could ever make
I like you on the inside as much as out
I like your heart, your mind, your actions too
I understand your pain
I know about your fears
I see the broken parts that you try to hide
I've never cared like this
Not really on the inside
I'm selfless now and unafraid
Finally - I know how it feels to love.
