I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it.
I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it.
You can speak of anger and doubts, your fears and freak outs, and I'll hold it.
You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life, and I won't judge it.

 And there are no strings attached to it.

 You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself, and I'll grant it.
 You can ask for freedom as well, or time to travel, and you'll have it.
 You can ask to live by yourself, or love someone else, and I'll support it.
 You can ask for anything you want, anything at all, and I'll understand it.

 And there are no strings attached to it. 

This is the only kind of love, as I understand it, that there really is.

 You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose you, and I'll hear it.
 You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss, I'll empathize with.
 You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion, and I'll hear it.
 You can even hit rock bottom, have a mid-life crisis, and I'll hold it.

And there are no strings attached to it.

 You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.
 You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.
 I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege.
 And you owe me nothing in return.
