You spent your life building walls around yourself

Brick by brick

Shutting yourself from the pain

Because I love you,

I will not dismantle your work

I will not destroy your walls

I will reach in

Tell you it's okay 

     And mean it

I will sit with you inside

Until we're ready to come out

Because patience is love

Because understanding is love

Because acceptance is love

Because I love you for who you are

     Not who I want you to be
