i just want to lie down
and feel your heartbeat next to mine
i don't want to talk
i just want to listen
i want to hear about that time you ran away for a week
i want to hear the cracks in your voice when you talk about your family
i want to hear about how she broke your heart
i want to hear the sadness in your voice when you talk about your childhood
i want to hear about everything you've ever experienced
i just want to hear all these things
because i want to make them better
and if i can't make them better
i will listen
i will hold you until you feel okay again
i will stroke your hair until you fall asleep
and then i will lie there
and fall in love with you and all your little imperfections
that make you perfect to me
