i am ready for you
i have always
been
ready for you
how it is so easy for you
to be kind to people he asked
milk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answered
cause people have not
been kind to me
love will comeand when love comeslove will hold youlove will call your nameand you will meltsometimes thoughlove will hurt you but
love will never mean tolove will play no gamescause love knows lifeha been hard enough already
you might not have been my first love
but you were the love that made
all the other loves
irrelevant
don't mistake
salt for sugar
if he wants to
be with you
he will
it's that simple
that's thething about loveit marinates your lipstill the only word yourmouth remembersis his name
you were not wrong for leavingyou were wrong for coming backand thinkingyou could have mewhen it was convenientand leave when it was not
it is a part of the
human experience to feel pain
do not be afraid
open yourself to it
there is a difference betweensomeone telling youthey love you andthem actuallyloving you
accept yourself
as you were designed
losing youwas the becomingof myself
i want to apologize to all the women
i have called pretty
before i've called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you're born with
is the most you have to be proud of when your
spirit has crushed mountains
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient or you are extraordinary
not because i don't think you're pretty
but because you are so much more than that
i havewhat i haveand i am happyi've lostwhat i've lostand i amstillhappy
if you're not enough for yourself
you will never be enough
for someone else
