be your best friend. i want to, because i've been my own best friend for too long. and although i have done everything with myself, i don't enjoy giving to myself anymore; i'm just not worthy.
but you may be. we all deserve more and less than what we get, but i don't have to subscribe to that. I can give you what i want, what i have, because i have it to give.
i have music and writing, thoughts, smells, and muscles, toys and spirit and books and fresh homemade cooking. i have paper and ink, pillows and sheets, bike rides and walks in the neighborhood.
i have had all these things for so long, but i have been jealous of them, giving them to myself, saying all of you may not appreciate it while simultaneously saying i don't have enough to give.
oh, i'm crazy, you'll have a good time with me. i'll take you dancing and make you sing along; i'll paint your shoes and show you secret trees; i'll introduce you to the world that has so fascinated me.
this is how i will love, not with assurance but confidence that what i have is enough, and what you have is enough. your best friend, wagging my tail because i am with you.
