Tell me about the first love you had
The first time you felt your heart race
In your stillness
How up was down, in was out
And your voice betrayed your calm.
Tell me how it felt when he held your had
How a single touch became electrifying
How it felt when he held you
And you dreamt of sinking into
That forever.
Tell me what it was like to first bare
Your soul to another person
Showing him scars in corners
Where your deepest fears festered
And how, when he told you he loved you,
You weren't so naked in your vulnerabiliy
You felt safe.
You felt whole
You felt home.
Tell me about your first heartbreak
When you started wondering if this was enough
If you were enough
When you realised that once tender kisses
Had now been filled with lust
And how you tasted detachment
On his lips.
Tell me how you scared you were
When he left
And you felt cold in Summer.
And, without a sound,
You were lost.
Tell me how you put up walls
Around your soul
Becomes some wounds don't heal easy,
They just bleed less.
Tell me how you don't think
You're ready for another commitment
Because your first
Broke you.
Tell me and I'll tell you how
Your hair glistens in the sunlight.
I like how it catches the rays,
Welcoming them in with a warm embrace.
Tell me and I'll tell you
That I love the sound of your laugh
And you don't have to cover your mouth
When you do
Because I want the whole world to know
That I made you happy
Tell me, and I'll tell you
That I'll wait until the hair
On my head becomes grey
If it means I'll get one kiss
Because you are everything
You always were.
Tell me, and I'll tell you
That to me, you are endless
In your beauty.
Tell me, and I'll make sure I don't make
The same mistakes he did.
Tell me.
Take your time.
I'm yours.
