(For Lex)
Soft and gentle And oh so beautiful And I get to love you forever
Your mind makes perfect sense Wonderfully neurodivergent I could listen to you forever
I think about you all the time And now I get to call you mine I want to be with you forever
This love for you I feel It's strong and it's real This love is forever
I wish you could feel about yourself the way I feel about you You’d always smile, because you’d see the joy you spread all around
(For My Darling Lex)
People called you ugly I don't understand why You're a beautiful, shining rainbow lighting up my sky
Today was miserable Awful, horrible Everything went wrong It was the worst of days
Sometimes You get swallowed by sadness Dragged down by loneliness And that's okay
(For Denali, My Love)
I promise to be there for good times and bad Whether you’re smiling and happy or crying and sad
There will always be people who want you to be something different Something that you are not Something that you don’t want to be
One Year Ago
I found myself at my lowest point Barely keeping my head above water My brain screaming to give up But I held my head up long enough to take out my tools and fix it
Not long ago You were always alone And no matter how you tried Nothing seemed to change that
(For Lex, My Darling)
How could anyone hate you?
You stand up for those you love with a ferocity like no other You love with your whole heart with such passion that even I can tell
