Love In Its Purest Form

I once knew a guy,
He always put others first 
But what I loved most about him
is that he made me a better version of myself

This guy challenged my thinking,
Unleashed my capabilities,
And most importantly 
Made me love myself even more

I used to be so insecure
Detained by the comments of the world
And always craving for approval
But to him I just needed to accept myself because I was perfect in his eyes

His accomplishments amazed me
They pushed me to try even harder 
To reach my goals and even surpass them
And what I liked most, was that he walked with me through that journey

I don't think it was coincidence that we met
I think it was at the right timing 
When I needed someone to bring me back to my senses
And remind me of how worth it and how blessed I was
How I took everything for granted instead of utilising what I already had.
