Tips

You're serious.

You cannot give me love
and expect me to know what do with it.
Where to put it.
What to feed it.

I've never been left with
love
alone
before.
Just the two of us.

So tell me what to do.
Read me the story it likes to hear.
Sing me the song it needs to drift to sleep.
Show me what to do when it cries out in pain.
Demonstrate how to soothe it back to solace.

I can see that you trust me,
But I cannot see why.

I have no experience.
So thank you for your confidence,
But you really ought to write this all down.
