We didn’t know each other at your lowest. But I’m here now. And I can tell you with all my heart that I love that shit version of you, the most genuine, the one with hope, who wanted to belong. Do I love you now? Of course I do. But my mind wanders back to the you of then.
We were both tired.
Not the kind sleep fixes
the kind that comes from
carrying too much
and saying too little.
So you rested your head
on my shoulder,
and for a moment,
the world stopped
asking us to be strong.
demon
they say
you don't love me,
you love the idea of me.
but it is both.
i adore the impossible thing
that lets me look this long.
i admire the sharp mind,
the beautiful scars,
the way my voice follows you
into the corners where no one else gets to go.
i adore the little girl
who wanted safety.
i admire the woman
who learned she could survive without it.
i admire that you meet kindness
with kindness,
and darkness
with a smile that says
is that all?
i need you.
and i respect the idea
that someone like you
could stand the full weight
of being seen.
In Friends, the iconic “PIVOT!” scene was the most difficult scene David Schwimmer had to film. He yelled so absurdly that everyone kept breaking character, crying from laughter.
He later said: “I think it’s the hardest I’ve laughed in my life.”😂❤️
