Hold me

You handle me with care,

like I’m fragile,

like I’m something that could be broken.

But it’s not weakness I feel,

it’s the weight of your touch,

the way you make me feel like I’m worth protecting,

like I’m something worth holding onto.

In that moment,

I could forget everything,

forget the world,

forget the pain,

because all that matters is you.

And the way you touch me,

like I’m the only thing you’ll ever need.
