Written at a time when I was breaking free from my normal.
You had me at hello…you had my heart…and you still take care of it…as I let the past go…you told me that you would never judge me…I told you some of my struggles…you told me you had your insecurities too…while you never came out and specifically said it…you told me the past doesn’t define me…let’s focus on the future…I told you I needed to process…instead of telling me that was silly…you opened up your ears…you didn’t have to…you could’ve given up on me…but we’re both still here…by the grace of God…I never had to mention…the new world I was exposed to…you told me from day 1 you would be with me…when I feel all alone…when I feel abandoned by others…you won’t let me forget…that you’re right there too…and the things I haven’t yet tried…we could learn together…cooking has never been a strength of mine…but that you wanted to teach me…things that I thought were out of my reach…you have helped open up opportunities…even as we’re apart at the moment…our conversations have brought us closer…I am sick of games…I want to be grown up…when you told me that…it broke my heart…because I had those feelings too…and thought that new things meant I was all alone…you taught me that you would be there…to help me and we could teach each other…it seemed like a fairy tale…but instead of happily ever after…it was only the beginning of our story…we can write it together…and when the words…aren’t flowing we make space for each other…sometimes my mistakes seem to overtake me…but you tell me that I have come so far…and never to give up…
