I'm so grateful to you.
You make me love myself.
And I've never hated anything more.
I'm in awe of you.
If I could give you the world, you might not take any notice.
And that's incredible.
My beautiful one.
But you're not just beautiful.
My strong one.
Who isn't only strong.
My compassionate one.
Who knows her boundaries.
You're amazing.
You encourage, but you're so honest.
I know you've lied.
And I've never done anything but lie to those I've loved the most.
You make me not lie to you.
I'm not even sure an I'm fine has slipped out.
When I talk to you I feel alive.
And when you're gone I wait for you.
I'll always wait for you.
You promise to show me the stars when you've given me the world.
You breathed life back into me.
You took my life into your hands and you found something in the mess.
I'm not sure what that is yet but baby, I feel it now.
I can feel now.
You talked me from the edge, and
I'm not sure yet, but I think I'm gonna fly.
I have dreams now.
I have plans.
Before it was breathe and take one step.
Before it was collapsed behind a bathroom door searching for anything to take me away.
For solace.
Now it's as if the colors have come back.
It's not muted.
I hear cars.
I can taste my food.
Sometimes I even want to eat it.
Baby you've changed me.
And god, I hope I never let you get away.
