That Boy

Once upon a time
A boy told you that
You don’t need to change
Anything about yourself
Because he accepts you
Despite the differences,
Flaws, and past mistakes.

He told you that he
Understands no matter
What circumstances or
No matter how difficult
It is to see through you
And he will always look
After your well-being.

He told you that
That you are the epitome
Of true love, and that he
Sees elegance in everything
You do, every word you say
Sees beauty in every fiber of
your being, every stardust
On your skin.

And for the first time in
Your life, you truly believe it.

That boy becomes a man
And you keep that man
For the rest of your life.
