I am here for every payback
every violent ending
to a happy day
every communication
over iced coffee and BLTs
smiles stuffed with bad memories
a bad aftertaste

I am here
for as long as it takes
for you to feel safe
for you to feel vindicated
for you to feel accepted
loved, cherished, and believed
I am here for all of the difficult fights
because waking up in the morning
to your smile
leaves me feeling in love
like I have never felt
and you deserve my best
