I can't count
The ways that I've hurt me
The times that I've cried
The times that I've said goodbye
I know
That I may act weirdly
A little unyieldy
Afraid to say hello
But please
You're so very dear to me
The way that you smile
The way you seem to care
Please don't
Let me run away
I'm so full of fear
I'm scared I'll let you go
Hold me
So very close to you
So I can just cry
Into the warmth of you
I think
If I can love you
Maybe you could teach me
To love myself too
