THEM

I know you...

I know your name,

I know where you live,

I know how your voice sounds like,

I know that your favourite perfume smells like vanilla,

I know the gap on your front teeth exist,

I know that you're an extremely sexual human being...

That regardless the nature of the conversation - you'll always find a way of sneaking sex in

I know you...

I know the stretch marks on your back and the ones inside your thighs,

I know the scars on your skin and the stories behind each of them,

I know your touch - how familiar your hold feels like home

I know how you lie - the slight purse of your lips before you do so

I know you...

I know you because I've spent time with you -

Enough time to know what makes you cry...what makes you smile 

I know that your favourite number is 2

And because of that you have a hard time working with numbers that aren't even

I know you enough to know the basics of you...

That your favourite colour is Blue 

That nothing excites you better than food

I know you...

I know you because I see the parts of you that you don't show everyone else -

The vulnerable, the pains, the insecurities, the ugly, the noise and everything that doesn't fit the persona you project to the world

I know you're bad just as you're good -

No matter how hard you try to separate the two ...

I know you're human 

I know you...

I know you because I was with you - 

When you were locking yourself up and crying on the bathroom floor,

When they said all those mean things about you,

When you were shamed out in public

I know you because I've felt everything you've been through 

I don't have to imagine - I know exactly what you've been through 

I know you...

I know you're 21 but you're really 46

I know you're figuring out where you belong in this little but big world of ours 

I know you're trying to follow the roads you've been taught - 

But you still end up lost 

I know people are there ... But you're really alone in this

I know you...

I know it's going to take time

I know I'm going to be fine.
