When you love
I want you to love
hard
I don't want you to hold back
but I also want the person you love to realize
how delicate you are
and how it feels to be loved by someone like you
Don't love someone who holds your fingers so lightly
that they can slip away at any moment
Don't love someone who doesn't take the time to understand
your worst fears and how they got there
You're like a flower and if your petals are being plucked
before you even have the chance to heal and grow
then the love isn't worth it
Your love is worth
all the stars in the sky
all of the sun's light
and all of the moons orbits
I hope you love someone who loves you softly
and pulls your hair behind your ear when you least expect it
I hope you love someone who loves your bruises
and takes the time to figure out how they got there
I hope you love someone who has kisses that are tender
as the winter's first snow fall
but most of all I hope you love someone
who makes you feel like you found
the other half of your soul
