An Interview of the Boy Who's Falling in Love with Me

How are you?

How's your day been?

Has it been long?

Hard?

Did you wake up early?

Do you usually?

Morning person or night person?

Do you sleep like the freezing, the lost, the dead?

Do you snore in your sleep?

Do you care if I do?

Do you care if I toss and turn like the sea?

Do you care if the beach is my favorite place to be?

Do you like cold starry nights?

How about hot steaming showers?

Does it matter if I could spend hours in there but only on the bad days?

Do you have a lot of bad days?

What if I do?

Can you handle it?

Could you pick me back up when I'm shattered on the ground?

Do you know how to fit me back together?

Can you make me look like a whole person?

What if I fall apart again?

Could you do it then?

Could you do it if it took years?

Would you care to remember where all the pieces go?

Would you care?

Could you look past the scars?

Could you fall deaf to the words I spit when I'm scared because I can't protect myself?

Could you teach me how to protect myself?

Can you show me how to love without fear?

Can you handle my broken love?

Can you handle me?

How about my voice, the one thing they could not break?

Can you love how I sing to the moon?

How about the way I kiss the rain?

How about how I dance in the rain?

Can you love it the way I do in those hot steaming showers?

Do you shower in the morning or night?

Mind if I join you?

Mind if I wrap my arms around you?

Mind if I never let go?

Would you let go?

Would you let me fall to pieces?

Could you catch me?

Are you strong enough?

Do you work out a lot?

Do you like runninng?

Can you run with me from my demons?

Can you keep up with me?

Are you sure because I don't think, don't move like others do?

Can you find your own beat?

Do you know your own path?

Can you help me find mine?

Are you good with directions because I'm always lost in thought?

Do you know which way is up and why?

How about down?

How about music?

I mean, do you like it?

Can you handle me always singing?

Is it okay that my life has a tune?

Is it okay that I know it by heart?

How about that I get it stuck in my head?

How about that I put my own words to it?

Can you handle my words because they are everything I am and all I can be?

Are the dark ones as beautiful as the sweet ones?

Is my dark tone as beautiful as my sweet kiss?

Can you handle my skin and love it the way I do after years of hate?

Do my years of hate matter?

How about my scars?

Do you have scars?

If so, how many?

And which are your favorites?

Which can I kiss in your sleep?

Which will make nightmares fade to calm?

How do you stay calm?

Are you usually calm because I rarely am?

Can you keep me calm?

Can you be my deep breath, in and out?

Can you be mine?

Can you love me the way I love you, completely, wonderfully?
