you love me enough to say no
to tell me what scares you,
to make me stop
you love me enough,
and yet you have so much left over;
you still care about yourself
and put yourself in other's shoes
i love you enough to say yes:
"yes" to all the things i've never felt safe doing before,
"yes" to things that used to make me afraid
that i now feel safe going with you
i love you enough
to cry when you say "i love you"
to feel all that emotion build up
and swell
i love you enough
to just sit and think about you;
i don't see you much
but memories of you make me feel like i'm safe
i love you enough
that thinking of you makes my day a million times better
that every time you cross my mind
i smile,
brighter than i ever have
i love you enough
to call you my home,
and make a nest
i love you enough
that i want to make your sadness go away—
be your sunshine
and make everything better
and i love you enough
to know that i can't
a/n
to my beautiful girlfriend who deserves so much more than i can bring her
