I Wish

I don’t wish to be loved only when I’ve been helpful

I don’t wish to be remembered only when you need me

I don’t wish to be soft just because it’s expected of me

Nor do I wish to be strong only because the battle isn’t yours to fight

I don’t wish to fly simply because the wind is in my favor

I don’t wish to find happiness only when everything goes your way

I don’t wish to be guided only by what is convenient for you

Yes, we are one in this journey together yet I carry a heart, a voice, and a dream of my own

Love, to me, is not about losing myself  it’s about finding ourselves while honoring each other’s individuality

Walk with me, understand me, and let us choose each other everyday
 not out of need, but out of love, respect, and companionship.
