Hand on my heart
As I write in green in pen
I love you in a way
I've never been
Expectations I've imagined
Reinforced by society
Reinforced by my mind
How he would look, act and be
No one told me this crap
Is just superficial fantasy
But to love you is calming
For my wild wandering soul
You say there are layers
Let me want to undress yours
I like that you love me
And want me as yours
As I breathe in my freedom
I hold open the door
I know you will wait
And it pains me to know
You may lose me forever
For my inner grow
I need to let life
Unravel with time
Without pressure of your decision
To want to be mine
I feel reborn and ready
To take on my ever changing
Damaged yet beautiful
Evolving self exploration
You helped hold me up
I open my heart
To be strong for me
And to love you is art
