Narrative

I was so terrified of you

when we first met

but I couldn't look away

you had my attention

I never knew someone 

like you even existed

but there you were

I learned very quickly  

that when you speak

people listen 

you don't care if 

anyone has anything

negative to say about you

because they wouldn't dare

say it to you directly

knowing what would happen

but it doesn't matter

you trust very few people

for that very reason 

and I don't know

how I became trustworthy

but I'm grateful for you

even though there are days

when you hate it here

I love you for every single 

one of those days 

that you keep fighting 

it's okay to feel weak at times

but here you are 

still writing your story

and I'm here for it all 

not just a couple of pages
