I promise you
That in the moment
When you hate yourself
I will crawl under the covers
And wipe away your tears
And kiss your forehead
I promise you
That I will be silent
Until you stop crying
And I will snuggle up to you
And tangle my legs with yours
And weave my hands into your hair
I promise you
That I will make everything okay
I will tell you you're beautiful
Not because you want to hear it
But because you are
And there hasn't been a moment when I thought otherwise
I promise you
That you are the most perfect person
And I won't ever leave you
Or stop doing this
I'll always treat you like royalty
Because princess, you're worth this
