to fourteen year old me
i promise you this
one day you will meet a boy
who loves you for more than
the feeling of your ass on them
or the way your tits bounce when you run
he will cherish each inch of your body
not out of lust
but because of the beauty of your stomach
and the softness of your skin
he will teach you
that you do not have to give up
the most cherished parts of you body
to receive half-assed love
that is not love
but lust
there is heaven in his touch
and an ocean in his eyes
he will teach you
that abuse is not normal
and should never have been tolerated
he is the sun
and the moon
and everything in between.
