when you meet someone
who cherishes you
not just part of you
but all of you
the good
the bad
the things that make you unique
they have a want to nurture your soul
your dreams you have
that you hold so close to your chest
they see the beautiful side of you
the sides you don't always see as true
you let life push certain sides down
since those were the traits others snuffed
but when you met them
they change your whole world
giving you a smile that shines so bright
they make your heart skip a beat
when they say your name oh so sweetly
it's like breathing a fresh breath of air
to have someone to push you there
further than when you met them
they want to see you be
at the full potential you were created to be
Ian Gallagher I love you
thank you for being my husband
my best friend
you are my other half
I thank you for opening up
letting me know what you love
when it comes to the person I am
and who I have always wanted to be
you make me feel all fuzzy inside
the type of love that surpasses romance
everyone sees me for the things I've been through
saying I represent strength
you met me and saw opposite
you saw the sweetness, the love I carry
you may run away from reading my story
since you have always seen me one way
it'll give you a depth you have not felt before
I want you to see every part you have not seen
while still seeing and loving me for me
