To: You

"Every meaning of what you call “I”
took form when you were mine,
Every change, chance and character
you’ve made, took and matured,
Every piece of your broken soul
have now conjoined to make a whole,
a sometimes full of sad
but in times happy and glad
entire being, you, my beloved are.
You reject every spot and every mark
only your eyes see, but they live in the dark
of an lost love you used to have
and a bunch of false scum took apart,
my darling let me open for you
those beautiful eyes so they can see the blue
of an entire ocean of grace
the mirror shows when it sees your face,
don’t forget souls live through centuries
while bodies die at cemeteries,
let me hug you tight, let me kiss your cheeks,
let me show you love, all the love you need,
let me caress your face with my own bare hand
and tell you in a whisper that i’m your friend,
that I care, let me confess a little secret,
that I’m your self-love
and I don’t want to leave,
not even a second,
not anymore,
I want to love you the way nobody has done
I want to hold you and never let you down
Just promise me,
just tell me,
You won’t tear me away,
not again"

-Self esteem, self letter, self love.
