Cup Of Tea

May not be everybody's cup of tea but someone meant for me will have a taste for me. I pray that person has both passion and patience for me, that they never leave my busy mind wondering if they're still into me. Please let them understand that I'm not perfect but I'm working on me, I'm trying. 

My love won't make sense to everyone. There's so much wrong doing I've done but may the one for me know about it all and love me anyway just because for them, I am more than my mistakes. I am enough. I pray that for me, they have an endless supply of kisses, hugs and physical touch and that to them I am never "too much". 

The walls of ice around my feelings are built up tall and thick. May the next brave soul who tries to climb those walls not be as afraid to fall as I am. I have so much of me left to give, one day I pray someone makes me feel safe enough to let them in and I promise I won't hold back my love again.
