I want you to look at my hands and wonder if the paint streaks that stain them
would rub onto you if you held them.
And to fall for my eyes, but fall even more for what they see.
I want you to appreciate Gregory Alan Isakov's voice as much as me,
or laugh at how swoony he makes me.
And I want you to be real with me and teach me what it's like
to try to remember to breathe in and out.
to try to remember to breathe in and out.
In and out.
Because I want to lose my breathe from something good.
I'm tired of drowning
This isn't a list of "How to love me"
This is how to love my heart.
Because there's a big difference.
And I want you to see that.
