I like who I am when I’m with you,
who I’ll be, where I’m going.
I like how I feel when I’m with you,
and how I feel when I’m not.
I’m soft, and at ease.
We banter, we play to make each other smile, and we remind each other of our dreams, our hopes, and our work.
I’m with you because I love you.
It’s how I show up to the world.
And because I love myself too,
I’m with you because you add to my life.
I like the story we’ve written together, even the hard parts.
I open up to you, telling you how I feel, what I’m thinking.
You’re the first person I talk to when things happen.
You’re the one who helps me feel okay.
I see you taking care of me just because you want to,
putting an arm around me because you know I like being close to you,
and you let me feel like a girl, a woman, a lady.
It doesn’t have to be perfect
but it does have to be good.
We’re together because we want to,
because we choose to,
saying, “this one, this is the one.”
And I love you in hope, in simplicity, in trust.
With the fullness of my being.
Because with you, or without you,
I know I’ll be okay.
