I wanted to be your first love just as much as I wanted to be your last, and that fucked me up more than anything.

I get so attached, so easily and it’s what will destroy me in the end.

It is terrifying to think that one day you will trust somebody enough to let them see you naked. You will undress and remind them that you’ve stretch marks and birth marks and scars from having chicken pox when you were little and scars from all of the other things now. You will blush thousands of shades of red, painting yourself as a rose losing its petals. And that person - that person will take it all in. And I wonder if they will reassure you. But mostly, I wonder if they will even see anything worth reassuring you about. I hope they see each freckle on your back as if it’s a star and you are the whole universe to them.

I could have every single part of your body pressed against mine and I’d still say ‘pull me closer’.
