I know that everything you've been through has been
unimaginable, and I hope you are never ashamed of it,
because it has made you into one of the best woman I know. What you've gone through is so heavy, but you never let it destroy you.
You are worth more than second thoughts and maybes.

When you get sad or stuck in your head,
come to me instead of bottling it all inside of yourself.
And if you can't find your smile,
you can always have mine to borrow.

I always hope you know how wonderful you are.
I always hope you know that you are not weak.
I always hope you know that I'll always pay attention.
I always hope you know
that I will always look out for you.
I hope you know I will always be proud of you.

I promise you that I will be gentle with your heart.
For I am always here to offer you my kindness and my effort.
For you to feel safe enough and come to the surface again.
