I don’t do
love casually.

When I let someone into my life, it means something.
My time, my energy, my heart—I give them intentionally.

I don’t know how to care halfway.
I don’t know how to love with one foot out the door.
When I choose someone, there is depth in it. There is honesty in it. There is a piece of me in it.

So no, love has never been casual for me.

If I let you close enough to hold my heart,
understand that I didn’t hand it to you lightly.
