To the next person who decides to stay
i want you to know that i love you with all my heart
it would seem like i do not, but i do
you see i find it very hard to express love
do see my gifts and me getting upset as my form of love
that how i was shown love growing up
it is not my fault i can't show it
but it is the only way i know

i want you to know there would be days i would not want to talk
don't take it personal it is not your fault
the way i am built, in other for me to function i need space sometimes a little too much
that does not mean i do not love you, i just want you to hug me and tell me everything would be okay during those times

to the next person
please do not make promises you would not fulfil
i do not do so well with broken promises, it would start to hurt and it would take a while to forgive

to the next person
i want to be able to put a smile on your cloudy days
please allow me to love you, i would try all i can to never hurt you
one last thing
please do not hurt me
