It's kind of amazing

The level of changing I see in myself

I've learned so much in so little time that it's a surprise that I'm not out of my mind

I'm a different man than who I used to be

A better man

A stronger man

But one of the more recent revisions to my character is this

I've learned to love loving someone who doesn't know it yet

I've learned to love loving people just because it's the right thing to do

I've learned that love doesn't always have to have a dark side nobody ever told you about

I've learned that love isn't always what it seems it should be

Love is actually imperfect by nature

Because on paper there's always a reason why

But in your mind it's inapplicable to the reasoning's of the heart

For who are you to argue

You see the good in the bad and good in the great and the amazing in the mediocre

For they're what you wish you could be and a thousand times more

For you can't even fathom what would be in store for you both if you pursued this line of thought

And maybe you'll get over this

Maybe you won't

What does it matter where they came from

Or what they've done

They're here now and they're not gonna look back and neither should you

Renew yourself in the image of the person you know you always want to be

Because I believe the very need for being that person means you already are

You just need to step into the shoes
