you

Denver, Colorado 

I'm learning why girls hide.
Why they don't just let themselves feel.
Why love can't be let loose to simply be given in return.
Show me that I can show you.

I'm learning why trust is a gift.
To have it and to give it.
To be honest enough to deserve it.
Give it, so I can have it.

I'm learning how to live again.
To live with different pain.
To smile through new suffering.
Take a chance for us.

I'm learning how to love authentically.
Why I want to care no matter what.
To live half breathing
Because I'm missing something…
