What I Have Learned From You
I’ve learned to try a little harder,
to look within myself a little deeper,
to not give up when it’s hard.
Even when there was no hope—
when my mind wanted to kill me—
you made me hold on.
It feels like the first time I’ve dreamed in years.
Like some hopes can still come true.
Like I’m stronger than I believed.
You pulled creativity out of the depths,
from where it drowned in sorrow.
I found love again with you.
You made me smile.
You made me laugh.
You made me feel when I was numb.
You calmed me when I was on fire.
I know I met you for a reason.
You feel like destiny, somehow.
I’ve never been loved
the way you love me.
It scares me.
It overwhelms me.
I don’t deserve how precious your heart is.
Why would you do this for me?
I hate being so scared,
so in pain.
I wish I could drop everything in a heartbeat for you—
because you are worth it.
You are real.
I just want to feel it closer.
Where it’s safe.
And I know you are.
You always make me feel
like I can.
