To the ones who feel everything

We are the ones who are hard to understand

We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre

because the ending scene made us cry

We'll stop to smell the roses

because they deserve to be appreciated

We are the ones who will take the time

to learn what keeps you up at night

We are the ones who will imagine

an entire future of adventures

with the people who show us love

 

We are the ones who will love you more

than we love ourselves

We will give you our strongest parts

in hopes that we can make things better

We desire to see you become the best you

to make sure that you always feel our love

We crave affection and appreciation

We give a piece of ourselves away every day

sometimes to people who don't deserve it

Our love is easy to take advantage of

and sometimes we don't get back

the love that we give away

 

When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart

We constantly have to put ourselves back together

We are more fragile than we like to give off

We carry our emotions on our sleeves

Our flaws have the ability to consume us

We aren't afraid to give you the world

but we are afraid to feel unloved

We want you to see what we see

We want you to understand where we're coming from

 

We are good people with good intentions

We are stronger than we believe

Not everyone can feel the way we feel

We feel too much, too often

We are not hard to love

We are something not everyone knows how to love

But you need to remember that

your worth does not change just because

no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you

 

You are not any less lovable

You are the most lovable person in the world

You are a light that the world needs

Your kindness is not your weakness

You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance

You do not need to stop giving love

just because you don't get any back

Your heart is the best thing about you

 

And one day when you least expect it

someone will notice you from across the room

and know exactly how to love you

They will think all of these things are beautiful

They will deserve the love you can give

They will fill the empty space in your heart

But for now, don't stop feeling

We are the ones who feel everything so deeply

We are the ones who can't give up because

We are the ones who will teach the world

how to love
