bug collector

an intimate term. sentenced the same way as lover, it's used to describe someone who loves another for everything they are. derived and inspired by haley heynderickx "the bug collector", the song talks about "trying to help someone you love with their problems or history and realizing you can't". it may as well describe the burning feeling of wanting to love yet not being able to do so.

"let me be your bug collector" (let me love and care for you).

"i am just their bug collector" (i am just their admirer)
