Priceless

I treat you with the utmost care. I wear these white gloves to handle you. As you were fragile, easily dinged, and breakable. I didn't do it because I was frightened, I did it for you. But now I see the hairline cracks, the chipped paint. I let too much happen to you, I wasn't looking at the big picture. While I thought I protected you, I thought I was doing you a favor, when in reality, I did you a disservice. But now, the gloves are off, and I will hold onto you as I should have, from the start. For you are too priceless to treat otherwise.
