I was crying in the bathroom when you found me
Sitting on the cold floor, shattering into pieces
I was too sad and tired to be embarrassed
Yet I straightened up in an attempt to be proper
But it was too much
And you were effortless
The way you sat on the floor beside me
You didn't ask me how I was
And I was so thankful
Because I couldn't lie to you
You held my hand tightly
And you let me cry into your chest
My shoulders shook earthquakes
And you didn't mind
As I unloaded the weight of worlds
into sorrowful sobs
and heart-shattering whimpers
I was messy and haggard and broken
And I had this tendency to run away
from everything
But you followed me patiently
And helped me pick up the pieces
Encouraging me, warmly, endlessly patient
To put it all back together
You
And your love
