“some things you should know
about loving me:
i will take some time to trust you
my heart is a little black and blue
from hands that were
a little too clumsy to hold it
i keep myself a little bit hidden
i keep my walls a little bit high
but when they fall
you won’t have to remind me of your birthday
i hold in my heart
the freckle counting
text me when you’re home
call me when you need me
kind of love
i won’t let you
have a single doubt in your mind
that the love song stuck in my head
says anything but your name
because the thing about having a heart
with walls around it
is that once you’re let inside
it makes a safe place
to stay”
― Whitney Hanson, Climate
