i left my heart open like a well-read book
with all it's cracks and tears and decay exposed
yet i made it hard for the superficial to look at
despite my broken spine you saw me, you chose me
and i took you in and you took me up on it
and we grew, nurtured, changed, became
i would not be who i am without you and you know this, and still care, still take me as i am
