treat me like a vintage book,
a one that must be preserved with much love and care,
treat me as though i am ancient and fragile,
prone to crumble under harsh touch,
handle me as though i am the last of my kind,
show me the love and care i crave so badly,
prove to me you aren't like the rest who stock me on a shelf,
reckless and careless,
letting me fall apart beside the newer novels that're so much prettier than i.
