I wrote it to me. Right here.

Adejumoke Adefila<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nTo the Girl Who Wants Love<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Not just the love you give so easily,
but the kind that sees you,
soft and unguarded,
and still chooses you again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the sharp edges you\u2019ve polished
to protect a heart that only wants to be held?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the love of almost,
the love that asks you to shrink,
to wait, to prove.
But have you met the love that lets you rest?
The love that arrives without a test,
that whispers, You are enough, even now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if it was your birthright?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrap your own arms around the parts of you
that have been waiting for permission to bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the kind that makes you feel seen,
not just adored.
The kind that doesn\u2019t demand your strength,
but lets you soften.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and still melt in the arms of love.
You are allowed to rest in love,
not run from it.
You are allowed to be chosen,
without having to fight to be worthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let it hold you as tenderly as you hold the world.
Let it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
