Like you accept me

I know I test your limits and exasperate

But you still want to take me out on a movie date

I don’t know if people can relate.

But I’m glad you come around, when I’m not thinking sound

I sometimes jump on you like an animal

But you still think that I’m silly, but adorable

Your love is just so palpable

I act like I make all the laws, you still kiss me on my flaws

A petulant verbose diva, who won’t admit to mistakes, make a fuss out of a snowflake

And then you start counting, all the brilliant things I am, you say you’ll always be my fan

You’re kind to all my unreasonable insecurities and I can’t wrap my head around this discrepancy

That you pick at the little things that go wrong with you, when there was nothing really anything you could do

Your eyesight has been weak lately, that’s why you can’t see

That you should accept yourself, like you accept me

All your business ideas are immaculate

You show up even when you’re not in a good mental state

I’ve never seen you succumb to fate

If I had lived your childhood, I would never be this good

Resilience runs warm in your veins

Your observation is insane

You make love out of your pain

For everything you do, I look up to you

A petulant verbose diva, who won’t admit to mistakes, make a fuss out of a snowflake

And then you start counting, all the brilliant things I am, you say you’ll always be my fan

You’re kind to all my unreasonable insecurities and I can’t wrap my head around this discrepancy

That you pick at the little things that go wrong with you, when there was nothing really anything you could do

Your eyesight has been weak lately, that’s why you can see

That you should accept yourself, like you accept me
