you have a match doused in gasoline
held to the flames
destructive, powerful, filled with potential
but you can't let go
what if it explodes?
who will get hurt?
listen- find this person,
and for the love of god,
hold onto them
find someone who is not afraid to throw your match into the fire
to ignite the burn in your soul
who wants you to let go of it all,
to let go of the destructive match holding you back
find someone who is not afraid to soak your troubles
and toss them into the flames
find someone who loves you so much
that they will sacrifice their burns
so that they can help heal yours
find this person,
and for the love of god,
hold onto them
