and my heart melts a little,
everytime I see him try his best,
to become my shield, a wall,
to safeguard me; if he cannot find
a home inside, to be sheltered.
So, I shed some pieces off me,
for him, to come and fill the gaps.
He, but, picks up the pieces,
glues them on himself like a trophy,
fills my gap, with our fragments,
and thus, beautifully, teaches me,
a helpless, hopeless romantic,
what love truly is.
