I wish you would love yourself
the way you cherish him
the sort of affection that is persistent and delicate
mindful of your flaws
and wrapping them in sympathy
rather than hate
I wish you would address yourself
the way you address him
in a delicate tone that holds regard
talking just the words that are valid
thinking considerations that are conceived of thoughtfulness
I wish you would take a gander at yourself
the way you take a gander at him
with worshiping profound respect
that imparts unadulterated commitment
unfaltering in your capacity
I wish you would trust in yourself
the way you trust in him
considering yourself to be the legend of your story
solid and effective, you hold your head high
disclosing to yourself it's alright, in the event that you fall flat
you merit the affection that you give him
to the one that does not love you
like you adore him
take that adoration
and offer it to yourself
