a love poem for myself 2/14

I love that I'm the kind of person who laughs when I trip over my feet,

By myself or on a busy street

I like that I fought my mom on rules of dressing and acting "like a lady"

I love that I can't help but record when I see the sun on the water

I love that I don't cover up my face when I laugh anymore

I like that I touch all the comfy clothes when I pass them in the store

I love that I get happy about the morning light on our walls

I like that I overthink about how I make you feel

I love that I want to buy lego sets every time I see them

I love that I go out on the balcony to hold my coffee and look at the morning and listen

I love that I am myself

And I like that I am here
