That's Why


You're okay

Don't be scared

They don't hate you

Don't say that

It was a mistake

Don't hide your face

Yes, they're going to talk

Don't cry

I know it's hard, but you have me

Don't believe what they say

You're not a whore

Mistakes do not define you

This too shall pass

Forgive yourself

Because you're already forgiven

You are perfect to me

You are my beloved

Because you are my child

That's why
