I've known him
For less than a month.
I can count on one hand
How many times I've seen him.
But with all truth,
his face has not left my mind.

But how could someone
Who I hardly know
Steal my breath so quickly?

Maybe its the way he laughs throwing his head back
Maybe its the way he sings led zeppelin songs at the top of his lungs
drumming on the steering wheel while driving
Maybe its the way he held me,
Tight in his arms
I felt so safe
I could be anywhere in this world
But all that seemed to matter
Was the way he'd look into me
No words can describe the way I felt while in his arms
Entangled in eachother
And a million blankets and pillows

He told me too many times
That I was pretty
I denied it everytime
I explained that I'm an insecure
Mess
But by the end of that conversation,
I agreed to take out my hair extensions
And makeup.
No one has ever gotten to me
So deep.
And just by the way my body trembled
When we kissed,
And the way he looked
With his shirt off,
His body, pure art,
With a cigarette
Hanging out of his mouth,
Oh I never wanted anybody
so bad before.

I've been numb for quite some time,

I forgot how it feels

To feel

I forgot what it feels like

To be left completely speechless  

I forgot what it feels like

To breathe
Its 5am & just got home. I'm high off of this boy, so why not soak it all in while it lasts.
