I’ll read my books and I’ll drink coffee and I’ll listen to music, and I’ll bolt the door.

i still find that i miss you most at night. we’re in love with each other, but nights without you are still hard sometimes. i get overly attached, and i’m aware of that. i like to think i don’t need anyone really, but then there’s you. the same way there’s always been.

Love, the deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don’t.

green eyes are splendid

you have other good features

but they’re my favorite

Why is it

That I think about you?

And I smile

When I used to force a grin,

And pretend the feeling wasn’t really there?

Why is it

That my head moves

Seventeen miles per minute,

But you can change that,

When I can hardly breathe?

Why is it

That everyone loves the idea of us,

But are so quick to judge

When the time does come

And everything is finally happy?

Why do I fear?

Why am I so afraid to fall in love?

I’d like to think

It’s due to my inadequacies

Amongst your brilliance.

For even the most golden brown eyes

Cannot compare to green irises.

But I realize this is not the case.

You have never lied to me,

And although I fear you may,

I have learned something from you in this past week.

My fear is not my own fault.

I have been given terrifying reasons to be afraid.

My fear is at the end of a bullet that another pulled a trigger to!

My fear is what is making me crumble because I no longer see what could go right,

Only what could go wrong!

And the worst of said wrongs!

But around you,

I remain unafraid

Because for the first time in the two years

Since I’ve had my mind and body violated

By someone who is now a stranger,

I have found someone who loves

Intensely, but softly.

Incredibly, but unapologetically.

Passionately, but quietly

Be gentle with me,

Please.
