I do not Need to Fix You


Because I love you,

You are perfect how you are.

You do not need to change for me.

I do not need to fix you.

 

Because I love you,

Mistakes are an opportunity to laugh.

A reminder of humility.

A chance to change if you choose.

 

Because I love you,

I cherish your boundaries.

They are signs that you trust me.

Signs that I can trust you.

 

Because I love you,

You can tell me anything.

I will love you for all that you are.

Anything that you are.

 

Because I love you,

You do not have to tell me everything.

I trust that you will say what needs said.

Every aspect of your life is not me.

 

Because I love you,

You can be who you are.

Whoever you are.

I love you.
