Not Just Some Symbol

Back when shit was dramatic
Had so many issues unsolved
Thought love was like in the movies
But love as head canon does nothing at all

You had to crush my head in
And show me tediously
Our souls are not ghost haunting our bodies
They are what physically feel

Believed that I was the king
Of whatever kingdom we lived in
Took a while, I have to admit
To grow out of magical thinking
You gave me food and shelter
You showed up when I was in need
And you endured me at my worst
While I learned how to love properly

And it's a new feeling to see you as a person
And not just some symbol in my head
The way I grow up its so slow its messed up
But you kept yourself open as a friend
