The Real You


Until they know the real you, they cannot possibly love you.

They can love a version but not the whole.

This is why, over a period of time, I will tell all.

Then watch.

I want no less for myself than I want for another, which is why I am full of wonder

of you.

It’s never a game, no strategy, fake out, or self protection

not if I’m trying to root and grow love

because to do that, I must accept

and I can only choose to accept what I know.

Do not waste the irreplaceable that I give you,

with duplicity.

Fill my time with truth

There is no better feeling than it.

Thank you.
