I did not make you an honest man
For honest was how I found you
And the honesty in you called to the honesty in me
I have tried to honor you, honestly
To love each part of you, raw
To see your person unfinished
In unearthing your fallibility
You’ve given me space to peel back each sticky layer of my guarded walls
To show you my honest heart
And still
You love me honestly
