Falling in love with me
Is like making pancakes
For breakfast on a Sunday morning
It doesn’t have to be rushed
You can take the time to make me from scratch
and lick the batter off of your fingers
as you pour me into the pan
Use medium heat
Cause if you blacken my edges
I promise I won’t taste as sweet
and
If you see my anxiety
Bubbling at the surface
Allow me to turn over
I know it requires
a certain set of skills
to know if you are
letting me flip
at the right time
and you won't know until it's over
But I trust you
know what you're doing
I promise
I will stay soft
In the center
Just for you
Be patient with me
know how to work with me
And I promise
I will keep you full
All day long
food pancake anxiety relationships patience trust
