By Just Being There

I don't let anyone see who I really am.
Because I know they can't handle it or understand.
But you're different, you're the only one I let in.
And I fully don't know why, but I trust you.
The only answer that I can ever come up with is,
that with you all the pressure is taken away.

I'm beginning to feel so alone in this world,
but with you at my side, I feel as though I'm seen again.
Horrific nightmares haunt me while I'm sleeping and with eyes open.
Yet near my hero, my closest friend the feeling of safety comes within.
The same cruel words tear me apart, but I know that you'll always be there to help piece me back together.

I've never felt deserving for anything I receive, that I shouldn't be able to feel love.
Still around you I feel complete and as if I am fit to be cared for.
The feeling of myself being enough is one of many things that you give to me.
And in all this you don't notice all that you do for me,
by just being there. -
