How do you tell someone you love them

When they refuse to believe that such a feeling can exist

How can you convince somebody you care about them

When they don't care about themselves

I’ve cried with you and laughed with you

I’ve held your hand and squeezed it

I’ve fixed your hair upon your insistence

We probably hug a little too often,

We probably should tone down on the compliments -

Your jewelry, my outfits, your personality, my false confidence

What more could you want from me?

What more could I possibly say to let you know that you belong?

How else can I make you see that you’re worth it?

Please, tell me how to prove it

It seems like my actions haven’t been sending the right kind of message

I am here and I am not going anywhere

You may never be society’s “perfect”

You might not be liked by him, she likely won't be yours again

But in my eyes and in the eyes of all your friends,

You are enough

You always have been
