i love you dirty


to tell you the truth, i’ve always preferred the worst parts of you. the parts you never kept naked, always hiding under whispers. i always loved the secrets that made you vulnerable. so, so what if you have baggage, because i’m lugging around a uhaul filled with all the mistakes i once made. i want to touch every little shattered piece of you, and try to put you together like the jigsaw puzzle i’ve been working on for two whole years. i want every speck of dirt you tried to wash away, each haunted memory, every bad mistake. i want to feel each story, running through my veins. so pour it all out on me, give me your rain and i’ll be your umbrella, shower over me, i want to become clean together. love me, love me like a downpour, and let me be your shelter.
