my love

I
i am giving you my love -
it's soft,
sweet and
small.

i hope you'll be kind, it's
very fragile. it'll break
(me) if you don't take care of it.

i am giving you my love -
what are you
doing? aren't you going to
be kind with it?

II
i am giving you my love.
it is the soft pink of the sunset
the clear blue of a lake
that you stumble across

in the woods. it is
the chirping of the birds that
helps you find your way
home.

it s soft, the feeling
of safety, comfort of knowing that
you have somewhere to go
when you're scared.

it is sweet, strawberries
on a summer evening; chocolate
covering the tongue as
orange dusts the sky.

it is small, like you, like me
under the stars
under the clouds
even the world is a speck.

III
it is very fragile, it breaks
ever so easily. you've seen:
you dropped it once, twice,
thrice, it's okay,

i keep sellotaping it
for you. always for you
please
i would rather give someone my love,

even if they keep breaking it
than having no one
at
all.
