I am incredibly awkward.
I get attached easily, and I hold on for too long.
I don’t like opening up to people.
Most five year old children can express their feelings
better than me.
I hide behind my fake smiles.
I’m probably one of the most difficult people
you will ever meet.

But I can be sweet.
I’m a great listener.
I’ll guard your secrets with my life.
I will never judge you based on your mistakes,
and I’ll love you as much as I can.

I can be, if you let me,
one of the best things in your life.
