Love me for me
I want you to love me... like I was your favourite song. Not by speaking from the pieces of yourself that have been hurt, through the pain that has kept you up at night wondering..."Why me?"
I want us to embrace the good, too. To remember that, despite everything, there are still beautiful memories worth cherishing.
I want to remind you what it feels like to see all the colours of a rainbow in a rare and extraordinary moment. To remember that there is no one else who can replace who you are, just as there is no one who can replace what you mean to me.
Can we set aside, even for a moment, the things that have hurt us and truly see each other?
Not the expectations. Not the assumptions. Not the versions of each other that we've created in our minds or the people we think we're supposed to be.
Just us. Two people who have shared something meaningful, who have been hurt, but who might still have something beautiful worth discovering.
Can we choose to be different than we have been? Can we hear each other out... listen differently, love differently, and make room for each other without allowing yesterday's pain to dictate tomorrow?
Can we find each other again?
Can we?
