you were one of the few
people in my life that I
trusted
I put my faith in you
I let you inside my world
I let you explore places in my
mind
that no other person has explored before
you got inside my head
and you made yourself at home
and I didn't mind
not at all
because you accepted me
for who I really was
no judgment
no negativity
just support
you didn't just accept my flaws
you saw my flaws as just another reason to love me
you didn't even see flaws
you saw beauty
you put in effort
more effort than anyone has ever put into me before
you found the darkest places in my soul
you found darkness I didn't even know existed
and filled them with love
you emptied out the capsule that held
my darkest secrets
my shame
my hatred
and every little negative thing I was keeping inside of me
you took all of my burdens away
you made me feel free
for the first time in my life
you made me feel comfortable
you made me feel at home
you took the ribbons that I had lathered around my body
and unraveled them
slowly
patiently
with a smile on your face
you showed me who I really was
I'll never be able to repay you
but I promise to love you forever
and just know that without you
I never would have found my true happiness
because of you
I can go anywhere in the world
and know who I am
and know that I am at
home
