i used to wonder what i could possibly learn from you
I learned
how to gracefully let go of things not meant for me
and admittedly, at first it wasn't graceful,
I kinda had to rip you out of my veins-
but that's not the point
the point is that I finally know how
to accept people how they are
for all of them
not just the good or easy parts
and maybe through you
I've finally learned the definition of love
that I've been searching for so long
and maybe through you
I've finally realized you're worth fighting for,
dying for, just like me,
just as you are, because you alone
is utterly perfect,
without any changes
and maybe through you
I've finally realized that people's worth
isn't determined by the similarity of their views to mine
or by their views or actions at all
people's worth is just that they have views and actions
and you should just let people be them
because there's no better way for them to be
than just them- any 'improvements' are just me
trying to make them more like me
which doesn't do anything except destroy
some of your individuality
and the presence of so many viewpoints by which
the universe views itself
is a beautiful, joyous occasion
I've finally realized that your existence
as well as everyone-around-me's existence
is a beautiful, joyous occasion.
thank you for this.
thank you.
