Our war was so full
Of everything
That none of us ever lost
We both won, always
You taught me how to love
And showed me what being loved feels like
You helped me build the me I am now
Brick by brick, Your hand in mine
And we made the walls of my heart together
So I would never get hurt
Not by you, not by anybody
You made sure that
In case you ever leave
I will be able to guard myself
And thanks to you, I do now
This is how I realized
That even if I lost lots of sleep at night
And cried myself a river
I would never take that back
Because it made me - me,
And I won a year and a half to learn
How to love myself
From someone who loved me.
