I Am Here If You Want To Be Loved

By:  Kelle Sparta

I am here if you want to be loved.
I will hold you in the ways you like to be held.
I will stroke your hair and tell you that you are precious to me.
I will sing you a lullaby and rock you like a babe, safe in mama’s arms.

I am here if you want to be loved.
I will receive you with joy and excitement.
I will thrill in the feel of your smile as your eyes meet mine.
I will smile broadly, open my arms, and welcome you home.

I am here if you want to be loved.
Not in a sexual way, not in a mothering way,
But just in a loving way
Because you deserve to be loved.

I am here if you want to be loved.
Because life is too short to spend it feeling lonely.
Because sometimes it feels like there is no love to be had
And I have extra to share.

I am here if you want to be loved.
You don’t need to do anything to deserve it.
Your existence is enough – you are enough
And the love is here for the taking.

I am here if you want to be loved.
Don’t push it away with strategies, disbelief, or excuses.
Simply show up and say “I want to be loved.”
And open your arms to receive it.

I am here if you want to be loved.
