you astound me



you never judge me



no matter how irrational



when i'm sad



it seems no matter how content and fixed i am on staying upset



like a bubble, you blow it in the furthest direction away from me



even in times like this, when i'm in that strange flux and so confused



you gentle reside with me and make it so i can breath again



my muscles go limp sometimes, just because of that



and you just make me feel so free from harm



and i know i can tell you anything.



heck, you work for it hard enough



and i love that as much as i hate it



you present your lips, dearly parted



and caress mine



every time a 'precious' tear falls



and you think i'm beautiful.



i mean you really believe it to.



not for who i was, or will, and of course should be



but for who i am in the moments that i'm quick to anger, and resentful and bitter



in the times i'm too stubborn to change



i love how you never hesitate to embrace me, -even when i'm hiding from you



again, even when i want to hide from you



when i confide in you the many things i am not proud of



you never act as though you know what's best for me



you let me have my childish tantrums fear free



i love to inhale the way you smell



it calms me down right away



never once have you done anything that wasn't in my best interest



you always place me first



before anyone



i can go to you for these reasons



you offer so much to me



sometimes, i just don't even know how to take it



you gently remind me i know better. and am better .



i don't know how you do this.



how you take me, and all of me over and over



it simply astounds me.
