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
