Just wanted you to know

I will open you up
I will find you deep inside
I will tear the layers down
That you’ve built up with your lies
Why won’t you let me in?
What’s got you terrified?
I promise I won’t hurt you
I couldn’t if I tried
I like the way that you
Do your hair
But the way you act
You make me feel so scared
I never want you to change
It hurts too much when you do
I just wanted you to know
I love you.
