I will not always be beautiful.
I will not always be picture perfect.
I will not always be the girl you first fell in love with.

When Im a mess of snot and red eyes, a picture I wouldnt want exposed on social media.
Do me a favor and love me then.
Love me when Im working through my trauma.
When Im at my therapists office more often than Im at the bar with you.
When Im addressing things from my past that make current me want to hide.
Love me when Im distraught and repressed memories are bubbling to the surface.
Ayo Ogunseinde
Love me when Im trying to be a better person.A better daughter.
A better human being.
And Im not always my best self.
Im not always the person I strive to be.
Love me when Im trying.
Love me when Im crying hysterically.
When Im gasping for air and no one else wants to look at this crumbling cliffside.
When Im barely keeping my head above the tide.hey, hey.Love me then.Love me when I need it most.
But if you love me, love me then.
And all the moments in between.
Because if you do, I promise this is the real thing.
I promise to love you back tenfold.
