I think I need to let go
Of ever believing that someone will love me
With the same depth and intensity as I love
That they will recognize the weight
Of the words
"I love you"
And all the promises they make when they proclaim that to me

Romanticize me
Make me feel overwhelmed with love
Surprise me with all the different ways your love drives you to show me just how you feel
Shower me in words to express the depths of your affection
Pour kisses on more than just my skin
Touch me in my soul so I feel the power of love within you
Go places you never have before
Do things you'd never thought you do
Because even though you've already won me over
I still need to be reminded from time to time
That you can't believe you're lucky enough to call me yours

I love you
I am hopelessly and desperately in love with you
But I love my well being too
And the last thing I want to choose between one or other
But I will if you force me

And as much as it saddens me,
I won't be choosing you

"I wanted to wait."*

There will be people who leave and it'll be hard
But you'll let them go and both of you will become who you're meant to be

And then,
Then there will be people who are worth laying down your pride, opening every cracked piece of your heart and fighting for

And life?
Well that's about figuring who those people are

But you pinky promised
And you're not supposed to break pinky promises

And I lost you
Just like that

Every promise

Every memory

Every second

You changed your mind overnight
And now I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why
 Jun 2016
Savannah Charlish
And that's the worst part
When I wake up and remember what happened
All the memories flood back in
And I'm blinded by the fact that I've lost the most important thing to me

And I don't even know why

Savannah Charlish
And that's what scares me
The fact that I'm accustomed to loving people beyond any level than they know how to love
I've spent my life forgiving and pouring out second chances when there were none left to give
Because that's how it works
When you love someone the way I do
And it's easy for me because I've never been loved that way
Until you

And quite frankly,
That's terrifying

I was spilling out words and brokenness I didn't even understand
I felt insecure and unsettled in measures that didn't have a way to be explained
And then I met your eyes
And I realized that I never had to be afraid again

Break me open
Untie my scars
Pull out every secret
Every burn

Kiss me undone
Take this mess
And discover every hidden piece
Hiding in the sheets

Unravel my soul
Touch me so gently
Like you might break me
Pull me close and dive into my mind

Undo me
Every piece
Bare upon the sheets
Break me open

I'll spend forever searching for the words to explain what you do to me
Because it's all immeasurable when it comes to you
And the way I unravel at your smile

I cannot tell in which moment I wanted you more:

When I felt you moving close against my skin
A moment before you kissed me
I could just barely feel your lips brushing mine
Wanting so bad to meet
...
Or the moment when they finally met
