You want no apology For my outbursts, For my cries for help, For my insecurity. You want no words spoken Out of fear that I am Not good enough, Not handsome enough, Not stable enough. You want no nights passed Sleeplessly Out of panic, Out of horror, Out of sadness. You want only To hold me in the rain As the drops mix With the tears I cry Out of nothing But happiness– For I have you now.
