The Best Part Of Me Is You

I spent my years walking in circles,

Trying not to feel too much,

Building walls out of old scars,

Calling distance “enough.”

Every smile felt borrowed,

Every dream felt out of reach,

I didn’t know who I was,

Till you believed in me.

I was always searching for something,

Trying hard just to belong,

Then you stood there in the quiet,

And proved me wrong.

The best part of me is you,

The way you see me through the truth,

I never felt whole, I never knew how,

But I’m breathing easier now.

If I’m stronger, if I’m brave,

If I finally learned to stay,

The best part of me is you.

I was afraid of needing someone,

Of letting my guard fall down,

I thought love meant losing pieces,

Or slowly fading out.

But you held my silence gently,

Never asked me to pretend,

You loved the parts I tried to hide,

Like they’d always been.

You didn’t try to save me,

You just stayed close by,

And somehow that was everything

I needed to survive.

The best part of me is you,

Every broken thing you pulled me through,

I never felt safe, I never knew how,

But I’m standing taller now.

If I’m softer, if I’m true,

If my heart finally broke through,

The best part of me is you.

Maybe I’m still a little fragile,

Maybe I always will be,

But you don’t love me despite my flaws

You love all of me.

For the first time in my life,

I don’t need to run or prove,

I look in the mirror and finally say,

I love me… because of you.

The best part of me is you,

Every gentle way you made me new,

I’m not perfect, I’m not healed,

But this love is real.

If there’s one truth I hold onto,

When the world feels cold and cruel,

The best part of me…

The best part of me is you.

If I ever lose my way,

Or forget what love can do,

I’ll remember this

The best part of me is you.
