Promise Me You'll Listen


you deserve someone who knows you--truly knows you. 

you deserve someone who celebrates everything that you are and embraces everything you are not.

you deserve someone who finds beauty in all of your faults and curiosity in your thoughts.

you deserve someone who doesn't withhold love.

you deserve someone who cares endlessly and is never going to stop showing it.

you deserve someone who pushes you to reach your potential but realizes when pushing is not the best option.

you deserve someone who knows how to comfort you when you feel like your life is crashing down around you.

you deserve someone who makes you feel as though the world isn't as scary as it seems.

most of all, you deserve someone who doesn't make you feel as though you are hard to love.
