Im so sorry
But you will never have all of me
I didn't realize how freely
I handed out my pieces
Until you came along
And there was nothing left to give to you

And for the first time
Someone wants to experience my mind
Not just the curves that draw eyes

So please
Be patient with me
Because everything that you are
Is so brand new
That I'm actually struggling
Not falling for you

The feeling of your fingers still linger
On my chin where you tilted it upwards
To kiss my quivering lips

You kissed me.
And you want to kiss me again.




What?

Please just don't love me.
Don't look past the flaws.
Don't tell me that I deserve better,
Or that you're not my past.
Don't tell me that you think I'm wonderful,
Or look at me with your intoxicating eyes.


Don't look past what I'm telling you.
Please don't see that I'm dying for you to love me.

I loved you not because you loved me...


But because I was a hurricane            
And you loved to dance in the rain.

I love your smile
The way you look at me
I love how sweet you are
And how you make me forget about my pain
I love the way my body tingles
When I feel you close to me
I love looking into your eyes
And wanting to be the person you believe me to be
I love how you tease me
Making me laugh endlessly
I love how everyone thinks we're dating
But in reality, that's a dream to me

What I don't love
Is that every time I go to tell you how I feel
I hear a whisper above the screams saying,
"Don't. It'll ruin everything."

There's something about him
That catches my eye
I don't know what it is
That makes me think about his smile
Every time I close my eyes
But all these feelings
I felt them once before
I'm so used to being alone
I don't think I could remember how to love someone
They way that they deserve
He really is something special
And I hope that he finds someone who will love him truly
With no restraints on their heart
Because even though I love him
I would tear him apart

Words don't capture the depth of love I feel for you so I won't even try to explain it; just look into my eyes and then you will see how much there is for you.

"Why am I never enough?" She whispered. I was lying close enough to taste the beer on her lips and see the tears forming in her eyes. "What am I doing wrong?"

"Sometimes the ocean terrifies people because of the depth it carries. They dip a toe in and believe they have experienced all that it offers... And you my dear, are very much like the ocean."

My words are drunk
But you are the truth said
When courage is given
To the speechless.

There are so many words tucked inside my heart
I am not sure how to get them all out
Some of them are terrifyingly true
Some are beautiful thoughts about you

They're the words that stampede my head
When you turn and look at me
And my lips quiver begging for your kiss

They're the things my hands cry
When your body is wonderfully close to mine

There are thoughts of love pouring out with my tears
When your company overwhelms me
Because I do not understand how it found me

My spine screams when your fingers are pressed gently against it
My body finds rest at your touch
Desperate that it will never stop

Even in my silence I am always saying something. My body never ceases to stop whispering how there are no words that could encompass the beauty that you are.

It was those hours of talking
About things I cannot remember
But knowing I was smiling the whole time
Your words did that to me

It was the way the sun danced in your crystal eyes
How you looked at me when I spoke
The smile that made me think you could love me

It was then
I realized I loved you with every ounce of my being.
