one day,
someone will call me beautiful
and truly mean it.
one day,
someone will whisper to me as i cry
and tell me it will be fine.
one day,
someone will laugh at my favorite movies
and actually find it funny.
one day,
someone will say they love me
and really truly mean it.

and not feel empty.

and feel genuinely happy.

i will love myself
and really truly mean it.
