I want you.<\/p>\n
Not the frills and things, you offer me.<\/p>\n
I want you.<\/p>\n
Not your money<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes, your time.<\/p>\n
Yes, your presence.<\/p>\n
Yes, your smile.<\/p>\n
Yes, your whole being!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I want you to inhabit the moment.<\/p>\n
Share your brokenness, your mistakes.<\/p>\n
I want you to show me how to laugh at myself when I fail.<\/p>\n
Share your discouragement and comeback moments, after failing.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Teach me how to love me.<\/p>\n
I learn when I see the way you love yourself.<\/p>\n
I see it in the way you interact with me.<\/p>\n
So, be entirely and naturally you.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
That way, dear parent, \u00a0I will finally be me.<\/p>\n\n\n
