Being You

Thank you for wanting to love me.
Not the girl you think I might be.
But the girl that I am.
And thank you for knowing the difference.

Thank you for seeing the real me
And not painting me with your experiences

Thank you for taking the time and the effort
To understand the world from my perspective,
Even though we are so similar,
And for not making assumptions based on those.

Thank you for loving me completely,
with that open end for discovery.

Thank you for knowing that although you know me,
You will always have to explore me.
Thank you for learning why I do what I do.
And thank you for considering that important.

Thank you for getting it.
Thank you for being you.
