To the one who will love her next

she's
been broken in several places
yet she shines and smiles and glows
'cause broken mirrors can still cast a reflection
you found a way into her life the same way lights get in through the cracks.

she says more when she's silent
you can ignore her words but incline your ears to her silence.
listen to her current playlists if you want to know how she really feels.
she finds it difficult to talk about how she feels so you'll have to look around for notes on the table.

she needs her space and when she gives you her time, please don't waste it.
she would listen to you when you speak but don't expect to hear so much from her.
When she smiles, it is straight from her heart you'll see that often.
her laughter is like her tears, you almost can never see it.

sarcasm is her very nature so pay no attention to it. it means nothing special.
you'll know she likes you when she calls you goat
you'll know she loves you when she tells you her favorite things.
you'll know she trusts you when she speaks of her passion.
you'll know she's comfortable around you when she sings in your presence.

she's great at concealing her emotions so you might not know when she's hurt.
the only emotion you'll see in her eyes is hunger.
and surely don't expect to see her cry, you're not her pillow.
she is a complex piece of simplicity, be patient with her.

her fragile heart's been broken before
so if she gives it to you
treat it like you would your own
love and nurture it the way you would care for your beards.
don't go and break this fragile heart.

from the one who got away.
