Self Love

There's no need to rush
I want us I want you
To take your time with this type of love

And I know you're used to being on the run
Without taking any pit stops but
With me I'll make you want to pause

So during your break
Let me nourish you and all of the tarnished roots
That you've forgot to tend to

Don't be embarrassed of your damage honey
Let me show you consistency
In every type of avenue
With words that have value
From matching my actions
That are a direct reflection of my love language

You're delicate
I get it
But I can handle it

I'm not intimidated
By what makes you sensitive
I'm invested
So let me hear your emotions
And validate every single one of them

You can call it selfish
But I'm attracted to the rawness of allowing yourself to be seen
Because I know it's not easy

And you're not a burden
Let me pay attention to every section
Of you that has been neglected
Every single word from your sentences
That were never noticed
When all you've ever wanted was to be heard
Every part of you that has become hardened
Can become softened by my tenderness

But just come inside for a minute
You deserve to be appreciated
And I won't let you get lost again
I promise
