Unconditional

The two of us.. we're both aware of just how fleeting life is.

We both know in the end, we will die, we will be forgotten,

and the universe will still continue on. And that's okay, that's life.

So we will take the days on one by one. 

I love you, the feeling is so strong it scares me..

But I know you don't love me, not romantically.. I know.

You're not perfect at communicating your feelings verbally, I know your past has scarred you.

But the way you touch me, the way you tell me little things about your day, the way you fall asleep around me tells me how you feel.

You trust me. 

You are broken, and flawed, and it has made you cold towards others..

But you trust ME.

Enough to let me in, to see your cracks and your struggles.

And despite all these things you hate about yourself, I accept them. They are part of you.

That is what true love is.

Flaws are not things to look over, acknowledge them and love them too.

I do not want to change you, only you can do that.

But I will support you, stand beside you, be your light when things get dark.

Always unconditionally,

 

because I love you.
