i asked you if i was obnoxious

you said "yes and i love you"

no "you aren't obnoxious, you are calm and pleasant"

no "you aren't obnoxious" at all 

just complete acceptance

yes, you are obnoxious, you are who you are, and i love it

 

i asked if you could come over even though we have lots of school work

you said "no but i will when we are done with our homework"

you love me, so school comes first for both of us

 

when you picked me up from the bars

i drunkenly asked you to have sex with me

you said "no but i will help you go to bed"

even when i would have said yes sober

you knew that drunk does not equal consent

 

i asked if you could solve my problems for me

you said "no but i will hold your hand while you are walking through hell"

you didn't beat around the bush

it isn't your job to make me happy, it isn't your job to fix me

but you'll always be there

 

you love me so much

you say no to me when i need to hear it

you put me in my place when i'm being rash

you dont love me in spite of my flaws, but you love me with my flaws

 

ive been doing things to better myself

to make you proud

because when you are proud of me

i see new colors

 

you are my favorite color

 

so the next time you tell me i am obnoxious

my cheeks will flush with red

you will kiss my forehead

and i will love you even more
