Continue Being You
I want you to be able to talk to me about anything
About the things that make you laugh,
And the things that make you want to cry.
I want you to be able to talk to other people
Without worrying that I’ll be upset
I want you to spend time with others
So that you can tell me about it when you come home
I don’t want you to feel guilty about
Being around other people
I don’t want you to feel trapped in this relationship
I don’t want you to change for me
I want you to continue being you
because you are the person I love
