Truthfully
You’re a candle in a dark room
A proud defiance of the way you’re expected to be
Perceived by many, understood by few
Your persistence is unlike anything I’ve ever known
How do you fit such tenacity inside of you?
Your honesty, a cool spring in humid heat
The love that pours out of you is warm and sweet
Your hate is something I hope I never taste
Truthfully, I know it in my heart, I was made for you
