For Alan (Turtle)
Some say they know who they are.
Some say they have no idea who they are.
The other tiny portion of the rest of the world,
would say neither.
I am one of those people.
Knowing who you are and who you want to be.
That's who I am.
I love who I am when I'm with him.
No one's ever made me feel like he has.
He says things no one could even dream of.
When I see him, I want to hug him tight and never let go.
No matter where I am, he's on my mind.
I can't even begin to explain my love for him.
Some ask me 'How do you know he's "The One"?'
And, with a smile, I reply 'I know because I can be myself around him'.
It doesn't bother me that people stare when we're together.
When I'm with him, nothing else matters.
Some say they know who they are.
Most have no idea some one is waiting for them.
The other tiny portion of the rest of the world,
love who they are when they're with their true love.
I may be young, but I'm old enough to know that I love him.
Old enough to know that,
I love who I am when I'm with him.
