Because I AM
I will love you beyond tomorrow because I never thought I would have today. I will love you beyond your expectations because I am always open to exploring on your behalf. I will love you in the dark places and hold your hand until the light returns—because no one held mine. I will understand you when the world does not, because I will never find time to judge you. The exploration of who you are is a gift, not a curse. The discovery of your borders is a glorious crusade, journeying between light and dark. Your authenticity does not scare me; it magnifies me. I will accept what you offer, help heal what is wounded, embrace your thoughts and ideas, and support your gifts as we embark on strange new destinations. I will… because I love you. And because no one knew how to love me. So as I sit here embracing today, preparing for tomorrow, I will be your guard. I will be your faith. I will be what you need. Because I am you.
