"don't let it define you"


I choose him over money

I choose him over fame

He is not a goal that I want to gain


Would you choose him over a billion dollars?

Or all of the money in the world?


I choose him, not just because I'm a non-materialistic girl

I choose him because he means more than everything

Not in weight, not in size, not in height, not in time

He is a colossus that captivates me, towering his little self-worth


Would you choose him over your fear?


I asked myself if I would choose him over any fear

I would not, because

I did not choose to swallow my own ocean I was drowning in

I could not reach to grab his hand, he never told me to swim

He is afraid of the waters

While I'm not afraid of him

I will love him over his every demeanor
