On behalf of love

I will hold a space in my heart for you to dive deeper into your own.

I will sit with you in your silence.

I will listen deeply to the things you do not say.

I will comfort you in your pain but I will not try to fix you.

Because you cannot fix what is already perfect.

On behalf of love

I will remind you that you’re never, ever alone.

I will shine my light to guide you through the dark.

I will believe in the best for you when you’ve lost faith.

I will see beyond your story but I will not judge it.

Because you cannot judge what is not yours.

On behalf of love

I will not shy away from your vulnerability or my own.

I will never define you by your body yet I’ll forever see it’s unique beauty.

I will cherish your humanity and all the things that make you who you are.

I will remind you that you need not try to be Spiritual.

Because you cannot become what you have always been.

On behalf of love

I will be a safe place to go while you find your way home.

I will speak my truth so that you may find your own voice.

I will honour your trust and keep your secrets close.

I will celebrate your happiness as if it were mine.

Because I know that we belong to each other in this life.
