This That I Am

accept me for this that I am
show me all that we can be
forget that which belongs to yesterday
infuse all new memories

don't compare me to what you used to have
let me dream of you in my deepest rem
show me all I need to know
love me for this that I am

Life is complicated by pretence and lack of honesty. Great to see someone being genuine. Take me or leave me as I am
