Can't remember the first time I saw you
It's been like forever.
Now every day I see you
I see you in the mirror
Sometimes you're pretty
Sometimes you're repulsive
Sometimes I hate you
Sometimes I don't.
Sure I can change you
Change the way you look at least
But that won't change the problem
In the least.
You're compulsive and angry
Happy and a free spirit
You're complicated and imperfect
Courageous and kind and sometimes cocky.
But you helped me learn that it's not what I see that matters
It's what I know
That matters.
And I know you.
I know you better than anyone
Inside and out
The goodness and the darkness.
I know you
You love,
you love the heck out of everything and everyone.
I know you
You're young,
Still learning about the world and your place in it.
I know you
You're smart. You know things. Understand things and try to learn something new every day.
I know you
You're strong.
You've been hurt and that blinded your judgement for a while.
But you bounce back.
Every time.
You're human and that's ok
You're you and I love you.
