The proper way to tell someone you love them
“I like to pretend that sometimes” I said. He looked at me, in a way as though asking why or how without the desire to physically say the words. / “What I mean is that sometimes I like to pretend you were my first, instead of your older boy summer romance cliche. I don't know why though. Maybe I want to keep a bit of you with me when you leave. I think that when I’m old, or even just in college I’ll tell people how I lost my virginity to my bestfriend and how special it was. Maybe after I tell enough people I’ll even start to believe it too. Not that Michael isn't sumptuous or anything. Maybe its because when I tell people that story I’ll leave them with piece of you, and you’re great.” / He snapped the last of the bowl and kinda just sat there with a weird expression. It wasn't confusion or even melancholy. He seemed upset over something. “That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me,” he said.

And as I sit here pondering about my life, / The only thing that arouses over and over is you. / As girls, we crave the touch of tenderness and serenity;

Holy ****
Last night I kissed a boy with taste of cigarette on his lips / He was drunk and he told me I was beautiful / Last night I had *** with a boy who would come up behind me after and hold me

Oh God!
Oh God, oh God, oh God! / What have you done to me? You've denied me of my own body. / I am not in control. I am suddenly dependent on someone who will inevitably break my heart.

One day
One day I'll tell you. I'll tell you that I want to know the deepest depths of your mind, and desire that you wish to know the same. Know my favorite color and what I think about before I go to sleep. I want to know what you want to be when you grow up and how your parents divorce is going, because I want to know. I want you to want me to know. I want you to need me to love you. And I'll tell you one day. One I'll tell you, just not today.

Us
We blame the starts, or society, or the son of God, because its just to hard to realize and acknowledge we're ****** people who sabotage our own happiness, for no good ******* reason.
