different kind of love

hey there friend
I know you have a lot on your mind
I'm writing just in case you need reminding
that I'm here, you can talk if you want
I'll stay real quiet
you might not know,
but shutting up is something
I've been practicing
I can show you, it's true

I think you feel real bad
I think there's pricks of guilt and shame
The thorns get me sometimes too
You don't need permission
But I'm giving it to you all the same
I'm happy to call you by your true name

I don't need anything from you to be well
It's this wanting, that's what I have for you
Doesn't need to be today or tomorrow
I'll dream a little about the someday
until you come around again

It's this quiet knowing you exist
this quiet knowing, it's enough
It's enough for me
Go, be, do
I love to see you
off and out,
being you
