My heart's been broken,

Not very long ago,

And that helped me

Realize that I was not me anymore.

It seems that I have changed

To fit his standards,

And I hate that I let him

Shape me however he wished.

It was a long way back

To the me I was before,

But then the question came:

Was that really the true me?

I looked for the answer

In every piece of me,

And when I found it,

It was not surprisingly "no".

I have long wished to write,

And be free,

But I have been so scared

Of the judgemental stares and words.

This is the moment that I thank you

For believing in me when I felt

Like no one would,

And for lifting me up

When I felt like I was not good enough

At the art I was creating.

I thank you now

For all those times I felt down

And you were there to listen.

I haven't known you

For a really long time,

And I am scared that

I might say too much sometimes,

But I feel like you should know

That I truly care about you.

I think I want you to know

That you are the very first person

I've opened up to in so very long,

And I am pretty sure you were the first

To see my true self, through my writing.

I want you to know that

If you're ever feeling low,

I'm here for you,

Just a text message away.

Remember that you

Should focus less on what

People say about you behind you back,

And more on being a baddie.

I think you know that

It took a lot of courage from me

To share my writing ideas,

And that I am so very grateful

For you supporting me in whatever I do.

I love how we have the same

Taste in music and sister water signs.

I love how we laugh

At random memes

We send each other.

I love how I never send

The full message in a single text,

And you panic every time,

Asking me if I am ok

When I make it look like I'm not.

I hope you'll remember

That everyone has their great love story

At some point in life,

And yours will come too.

I want you to know that

The lily that you watered,

With help and patience

To listen to what it had to say,

Is so very grateful for everything.
