I was loved, therefore I am;

And in being loved, I am treasured.

When I peeled away my layers,

And all that was left was my essence,

The bareness of me,

I was still loved.

I was loved, therefore I am;

And in being loved, I was able to grow.

In my mistakes held,

In my successes celebrated,

I was always loved.

I was loved, therefore I am;

And in being loved, I learned to love.

In the sun filled day,

In the ecstasy of the night,

I was loved and loved others.

To be loved is all you need:

I was loved…and so, I will always be.
