I used to think it was important

to tell someone when you miss them

Make sure the people in your life

know exactly how you feel, right?

But the lesson I get from you

is to lock that shit down tight

because you never know when love

might be interpreted as pressure

when requests become demands

or when presences turns to obligation

Hold on loosely? Try not at all

because any little grip

can apparently leave a mark

and send someone running

when you need them most…
