i know you've been through a lot,
you cried so much no one knows about,
you ache in pain that wasn't your fault,
and you suffered for the ones that
shouldn't be yours,
i felt the helplessness you felt before,
during the times when no one saw the storms within your eyes,
i've seen the grips you've made for the hatred you felt for yourself,
i still remembered the silent echoes ringing forth and back of your head,
but now, that i am here,
let me hear you out,
let me look at your innocent soul,
and caress your soft and fragile heart,
let me make you feel heard and bring warmth into your gloomy nights,
i was and will be always here with you,
remember that,
love,
your older self
