You Remind Me

You remind me
everyday
how easy it is to love me

How I go about my daily life
My nervous ticks that tick unseen
The ways I swallow my pain
The pursuits I pursue
The flaws I cannot change

You love me for merely existing
as I am
today

You marvel at how I am complete
You marvel at how I am incomplete
You do not see someone with more to give
with more to conquer
with more to prove

Instead
You see someone who deserves
You see something mirrors do not show me

You remind me
You remind me how easy it is to love me.
