This is the letter I never knew how to write. The truth I kept locked up. I hope it finds you tonight. I see you're still fighting the wars in your head With the ghosts of the words that were better left unsaid I see you're still building your walls up so high To keep out the world and the look in its eye You think no one notices, you think you're alone In the quiet, sad kingdom upon your own throne But I see the battles, I see the fatigue Your own private, heartbreaking, one-person league Of over-thinkers, I know you try hard To keep up your guard, to play the right card But what if I told you you're already enough That the world isn't waiting for you to be tough What if I told you your scars are a map To a cage made of doubt that was perfectly cast That you've finally escaped, and you don't even know How much you have grown, how much you still glow I'm sorry I never was good with the words My feelings were birds that were trapped in the herds Of my own quiet fears, I was clumsy with praise In those long and confusing, difficult days And I wish I had told you a thousand more times That your strange little rhymes and your innocent crimes Of the heart were a treasure, a gift, and a sign That your soul was as bright and as brilliant as mine Ever hoped it could be, but I kept it all in And I don't know where to begin to begin To undo the silence So let me just tell you you're already enough The world isn't waiting for you to be tough Let me just tell you your scars are a map To a cage made of doubt that was perfectly cast That you've finally escaped, and you don't even know How much you have grown, how much you still glow I loved the small crinkle right next to your eyes I loved all your clumsy and honest replies I loved that you tried, I loved that you cared I loved every single quiet moment we shared It was always enough It was always enough You were always enough You are always
