I accept you as you are. There's no need to justify yourself, To apologize for your losses and failures and the opportunities you've missed. I don't see you as a failure or a loser. I accept you as you are. There's no need to tell me your life story, To share your past misfortunes and your plans to reinvent yourself. You are here with me now, Without a future or a past. And I accept you as you are. There's no need to pretend to be someone else, To impress me with your charm and intelligence and keep talking to hold my attention. I know the real you, Beneath your surface self. And I accept you as you are. You don't need to prove that you are worthy of my affection. I won't judge you, Because I understand you. I won't reject you, Because I'm connected to you. I can't hate you, Because I am you. And I love you as you are.
