Please love me
Hold me while I sleep
Whisper to me while I dream
Wake me from my nightmares
Let me lay across your lap
And finger paint hearts on your chest
Write poems about your promises
Kiss away your lies
Tell me that I matter
That I mean something
If to no one else than to you
Stay with me through November
When my smile doesn't reach my eyes
Make me cups of coffee
Pet my hair
Understand my sadness
And let me stay inside
Bring me fallen leaves from the garden
And dandelions with all their wishes still intact
See me as I am
Not how I want you to
Love me anyway
*Please love me anyway
