Thanks to you, I have learned

to calm down and breathe in, when I’m anxious.

If I’m concerned

about whether or not I am precious

to you

I breathe in, I sit back, I breathe out,

then I know I am worth something

and the love I now feel makes me courageous,

I sit back and enjoy.

I have learned

to take my time and my space

cause I’m my own person,

just the same as you

and that’s cool.

We can both have this friendship

without losing ourselves in the core.

It’s okay, I say to myself,

It’s okay, I repeat

We’ll be friends and that’s enough for me

because I enjoy you.
