I want you to hold me.

Hold me like you did your teddy bear when you were younger

Hold me tight like I’m liquid

Squeeze me like we are not sure tomorrow exists

Let me snuggle into your chest

Hear your heart.

Make me curious about why it pumps.

Play in my hair like those monkeys that search for bugs.

Tough my back and give me support.

Tell me it will be alright even if we have uncertainty.

Because I can do it with you.

I will with you.

I would give up my arm for it because

I only need your embrace.
