Version

I like the version of myself

I am when I am with you

She is a little happier

A little funnier

Wiser

Braver

I don’t hide at my reflection

Cower at the thought of myself

When it is just you and I

I breathe easier

Relax deeper

Care about tomorrow

I need you to survive

What a burden to you

Responsible for us both

Every moment costs you double

A heavy load to bare

I am selfish when it comes to you

In the worst way

I don’t care what you need

Long as you are staying true

To this version of myself

A day will come when you need more

I will not be able to give

I’ll watch you walk away

And mourn this version of myself
