Us
We are the ones who can be
hard to understand
We'll be the last ones in the
movie theater
because the ending scene made us
cry
We'll stop to smell the sunflowers
because they deserve to be
appreciated
We are the ones who call you at night
to help you work through whatever’s keeping you up
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 sometimes
We will give you our
best
in hopes that we can
make things better
We want to see you become
the best version of yourself
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 admit
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
seem
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 it 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

You are exactly who you are supposed to
be.
