And I love him
Not because he tries to 
Sell me rainbows,
Or sacrifices his every
Need to meet mine.
It is real,
It is raw,
And he meets me there,
Calmly reminding me
That life goes on,
That even if everything
Changes
And we show the worst
Of ourselves
We can heal, we can grow
We can love.
And he loves
Me.
