She said:
“I hate that someone has made you scared to feel loved.”
And I know I hesitate in my expression
when I show her love.
And when I tell the world
what’s in my heart.
But I refuse to hold back
because life is not worth living
When you’re scared to live it.
So every moment,
and with every fiber of my being,
I will love her.
Because for once,
I don’t have to make myself
smaller
When I feel I’m too much.
I don’t have to modify my dreams
because she sees the same life
that I’ve begged for
for years.
I don’t have to fight anymore
to prove that I am worthy of love.
She shows me.
She tells me.
She reminds me.
I didn’t know
A love like this existed.
