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
