I want to feel you close. I want to feel your hands on my skin. I want you to light my skin on fire with your lips. I want to feel the heat of your body close to mine. I want your lips to make me tell you every secret that I am hiding.
Brain: No no no no.. not again.. don't catch feelings.. for the love of good, please don't.. you know how it ended last time!
Heart: But what if...
Kiss me. Fill me with your ravenous emotions. Push me up against a wall and make me feel how much you want me. Show me how you thought of me bent over the table. Make me feel your heat and let me forget.
Realization
There he was,
smiling,
just observing.
He knew
knew what an effect he had on me.
I couldn't stop blushing.
Red tinting my cheeks
everytime he would talk to me.
I was his toy.
He could control me.
Little did he know.
I wanted him to.
I tell myself that I don't like you.
I tell myself that you are awfull.
Bad for me. Sexist. An asshole.
Shallow. Ignorant. Not for me.
Then tell me why my heart lights up everytime I get the smallest bit of attention from you..
“You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.”

My love will hurt
Both of us
It will weigh
More than you could drag along
And leave me carrying it on my own
My love
Will hurt you into leaving
And shatter me into staying behind
