Just Be Me

My parents have shown me what it should look and feel like to

“Just Be Me.” 

When someone accepts you for who you are; regardless of what others think, that makes me feel free. 

My father never screams at my mother; his tone is always soft;

In turn my Mom appreciates that and therefore calls him “Boss”. 

Kissing and embracing is something they do often 

And dad texting Mom I love you tends to never go forgotten. 

My relationship is very much like theirs;

My girlfriend and I make sure we care;

About how we both feel about each other’s feelings;

try to respect one another’s privacy and support each other’s dreams;

Individual dreams as well as shared dreams;

Because two people that love one another want the best for the individual as well as the couple

#BecauseIloveyou is more than words; it’s a feeling;

When I say #BecauseIloveyou, it means I want the best for you;

with or without me,

So you can “Just be You” and I can “Just Be Me.”
