It's perfect

He threw compliments at you
until they stung.

He kissed you
until there were violet bruises
blooming across your arms.

The fingers he traced
up and down your back
turned into thorns.

His words morphed into
bombs.

It's perfect.
Until it's not.

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?

You told me that you had my back,
And I thought that was true,
Now my shadow's still behind me,
but where on earth are you?

Your hands in my thighs
while we drive through the city lights.
I wonder if it’s alright?

Your hands are in my waist
while we kiss the night away,
whispering “this is where I wanna be”;
I wonder if it’s alright?

Your words of affection
are leaving me in a trance.
I can’t go back,
can’t breakthrough,
You have someone that loves you
the way that I do,
I wonder if it’s alright?

I’m slipping through my beliefs
All for the love you give
I wonder if it’s alright
To love you like this.

Love changes,
From one word texts to essay Paragraphs.
From early light outs to sleepless nights.
From a small "hello",
To an "I love you".
Love changes.

Hey darling,
Not sure if I ever told you
You know I'm afriad of being bold
But you should definitely know

I've never trusted anyone fully
Never let myself go completely
I don't beleive in any of the mushy gooey

But you, I guess you got me
I'm afraid to let it take control
When I do it's never wrong
You're where I belong

From swinging at night
To playing tic tac toe
Dressing you in clothes
Telling secrets no one else knows

You're my best friend
Always have been from the beginning
It's not that I don't love others
You're just so special to me
Closer then my sister and brothers

❤️
