It seems whenever I am near you,
A sense of peace comes over me.
And I feel strangely young again,
Complete, somehow, and free.

I can always just be myself
No need to act a certain way
or weigh words before spoken
I just say what I want to say.

I can laugh my obnoxious laugh
And stand naked with no shame
And tell you many boring stories
And you like me just the same.

I can act like the dork that I am
And smile my big imperfect grin
I can forget what I wanted to say
And you wait til I remember again

I don't have to hold back a thing
You accept everything that I do
You made me ok with being imperfect,
When you said I was perfect for you!
