To the one that loves him next

To the one that loves him next:

He doesn't eat right after he wakes up, so don't surprise him with breakfast in bed. Instead just look at him while he sleeps, brush your fingers through his hair, it calms him down without anyone knowing. He twitches in his sleep so don't be alarmed. He doesn't like the time around his birthday so just play wake me up when September ends by green day. His sister comes first, always. 
He pretends to like art sometimes. Take this moment as an opportunity to remind him that he is art. 
Hold his thumbs when he's angry, you'll learn why. Don't just leave him when you are angry. 
Be patient with him. He'll hate himself often, remind him that he's only allowed to hate himself in your arms. 
Don't break him, don't try to fix him. He is no object to mend. He is everything that allows the air around you to feel lighter. This boy deserves galaxies. 
All galaxies. Even when he makes mistakes. Even when he cries.
