when you are ready to stop pretending
everything is okay
i’m here
when you are ready to say you’re scared
of things you don’t know
i’ll listen
when you are ready to speak the words on your heart
in all their vulnerability
that is what i’m made for
and when you choose something other than what you’ve always done
i’ll know
and when you hide your face, laugh unrealistically in mine while claiming you are fine, and push me away
then, i’ll let you
you are only a human being
and we are figuring it out
we are growing
and we are allowed our pace
