So don't hate me for being happy.

Don't hate me for whatever emotions are flowing through my mind.

Don't despise me for having my heart leap when you smile.

Don't be disgusted when I reach to hold your hand.

"Please ignore the blush, it's just the cold," I scream in my head,

Listening to your smile,

Beaming at your laugh.

Don't kill me for the mistakes I made to get here,

Don't wish ill of me for making more when I arrived.
