when I say how I want to be loved I mean
to know how I like my coffee
because that's my favorite part of the day
understand that I am unpredictable and unstable
but know the words I like to say
know the story behind my scars
see my library and know what my favorite books are
know when I'm about to shut down
if I get up too fast I will fall to the ground
when I say that I am crazy, tell me to stop
because you love me and know that I'm not
remember that I love No Room for Squares
when I say I need my happy place,
you would know where
when we kiss
you know I would like your hands like this
your hand tight on my waist
the other hand cupping my face
to make me smile just trace the freckles on my shoulder
know that I want a bakery when I am older
that when I sleep I always get colder
so you would move closer
I would promise to love all your little things
know your favorite song to sing
this is how I want to be loved
