Trust

When I was a kid, my cousins and I played Hide and Seek, the invisible man

Whoever was it had to hide in the house, keep the others from seeing them

I won, I was so good at hiding that after a while,I did nothing else

It started to feel like no one would ever find me again, see me

Then I met you. I understood what it meant to love, for better AND worse

Seeing beauty in someone, seeing the worst in someone,

And having the faith to risk him seeing you

I didn’t realise how invisible I made my true self,

Until you, friend, dragged me into the light

All it took was some fights, some kicking, screaming, and crying

To you, my love, and to my dearest friends,

I vow to never hide again

To never stop caring, or loving,

To you, my family, I bequeath,

my love, my heart, my passion, and forevermore, my trust
