You proved that it’s okay to be vulnerable in front of someone else.
It’s okay to break down in front of someone else.
It’s okay to be raw and honest and real.

During the lowest days of my life.
And if you werent there, you heard stories about what happened.
Im never embarrassed about giving you the details.
I never keep secrets from you, because I know how you are going to react.
You are going to comfort me, not tell me tocalm down.
You are going to attempt to make me feel better, not feel worse.

You are going to say the right thing, not the cliche thing.
You have seen me at my ugliest.
You have witnessed my mostpsychomoments.
And thats how I know you really love me.
Nothing has made you budge.
You arent going anywhere.
You have seen me cry not just a teardrop or two.
You have seen me bawling my eyes out.
You have seen me when my eye liner made it halfway down my face, turning my cheeks dark.
You have seen medrunk.
Drunker than I ever should have gotten.
You have held my hair back.
You have helped me walk.
You have cleaned up my messes because I wasnt coherent enough to take care of myself.
You have tucked me into bed and gave me water in the morning instead of a lecture.
You saw me when I was the angriest I have ever been at another human being.
You have seen me during moments that I used to want to experience alone.
I only wanted other people to see the attractive sides of me.
I wanted them to think I had my life together.
But you proved that its okay to bevulnerablein front of someone else.
Its okay to break down in front of someone else.
Its okay to be raw and honest and real.
Whenever I yell, I know you are going to be there to talk me down from the cliff.
Whenever I cry, I know you are going to wrap an arm around me and squeeze.
Whenever I drink, I know you are going to get my head and stomach feeling okay again.
Whenever I need you, I know you are going to be there.
You have seen every single side of me.
Even the ugliest bits.
And you havent gone anywhere.
