Hold Onto You
My darling
hold onto you closely, you are a wonder of this world.
The earth may be large, and you may be small
but even the earth can’t say no to a space invader.
Fence cutters will be jealous of your jewels,
for while open lockers will always be empty
you are the safe and the prize —
like your skin is made from diamonds.
My darling
hold onto you closely,
but don’t steal yourself from the world because the world needs more of you in it.
Don’t hide behind closed doors and shut curtains because a mirror to you is like the sun.
Don’t ever walk away from someone because you know they’re going to say you’re beautiful —
just say thank you, knowing that he smiles at your beauty — and yet — doesn’t know the half of it.
I bet that’d make you smile, too, wouldn’t it?
