I fall in love with everyone I know,
Head over heels by the second hello.
Because, when you like someone, there are two first impressions:
Hello, nice to meet you,
Get to know you,
Come to love you.
And hello, wow I like you.

It’s all in the hello.
Like,
Hello, I am broken.
I introduce my scars like I introduce myself.
Because you should know what you’re getting into,
Before you commit to hello.

And hello is a trap,
Because for me, my handicap,
Is the limitless love I have for everyone but myself.
It doesn’t take very long,
Once you let me in,
For me to find a way to love you.
For your flaws,
For your secrets,
For all the reasons you hate yourself.
Because I see the beauty in it,
And I see beauty in you.

I’ll give it away,
My love to you.
You can have it,
And me,
Every piece.
Because I don’t want any of it,
But I want it to do good.
So if I can give you even one shred of light,
It will be worth all my darkness.
For I feel everything,
And I fall in love with everyone I know,
Head over heels by the second hello.
