I used to pride myself in not being "one of those girls"
Special snowflake syndrome at it's worst
I rejected all things feminine
And hated my body, subsequently
But then I met her-
And all the things I used to loathe
All the fawning over celebrity crushes
All the enjoying beauty and femininity
All the sleepovers and baking and delights
For the first time in my life I truly had a best friend
I always longed in my heart of hearts for this sort of thing
Now I tell secrets, not tragedies
And she has made me better
So much better
Even after adding those things I once loathed
My identity has not been compromised
It has flourished, due to her
And so I love her, in such a different way than I've ever loved before
She's the beauty I tried to shut out
I was envious and bitter, since I lacked it
But it was more than worth the wait
Since instead of some false idol
I have her, a goddess, to stand beside
