I'M a Puzzle

I'm a puzzle
Confused and scattered
You are a part of me
How many pieces do you hold?
You have my heart
That's the biggest part
Slowly I'm being put together
Becoming the best of myself.
You also hold my happiness
All the smiles you put on my face
Now I can love and laugh
Knowing it's you who has me
Two of the biggest parts put in place
But I am a puzzle
I have many pieces
Emotions
Trust
Motivation
I know you have those
My emotions are all wrapped up in you
Trust is just something you have because
I know you'll never hurt me
My motivation is you
I work harder
Try harder
Do better
Because I know I'm worth it
I want to be as motivated as you
Because you see the good in me
You'll always have my friendship 
I would never want to lose you
I hope you don't lose that piece
Six pieces you hold
The most important parts of me
I am a puzzle
You hold my pieces 
You hold me.

How wonderful that you were able to find someone who motivates you to see the goodness in yourself, Stacey. True love does build confidence and motivate us to "Try harder" to be the best we can. Your puzzle pieces seem safe in the hands of the one you describe and I hope he proves worthy of your trust. Very nice introspective write! Love, Carolyn
