lay me out, bare and exposed to the wind, and i would trust you to keep me safe

the tension in my shoulders gets a little less around you, i breathe slower, my limbs don’t shake, and i remember what it is to be on steady ground;
when i close a hand around your sleeve i think what i’m really trying to say is please don’t let me go

so whatever it is that makes you turn away when i look in your direction too long, i can fix it

i think i would do anything for you.
