To Those Who Care Too Quickly

Why do you call yourself a fool

for giving away your love?

That is love's purpose,

to be given, to be shared.

The only fool is someone who closes their heart to it.

I never get to see you anymore.

Perhaps that's what makes you so special.

I do not need parties and polaroids to have you with me.

My dear, you have earned a place within my soul.

I carry you with me, always.

Please, I beg you.

Don’t leave while I’m like this.

I have too much crying left to do,

And no other arms to hide me.
