Don't be afraid
It's only love
& this is only a guideline

& this is only me placing my emotional worth on the line
I mean, no big deal, right?

What does it say about someone who places such high value
on short term happiness?

That's dangerous
& it's a danger, to us

I remember speeding through those traffic lights
Pulling those same stunts
So familiar
& warm
& fun

& dangerous
This is a danger, to us.

At first you were a distraction
To help me forget about
Him.
But then you became someone
More than just a distraction,
You became an addiction.
Once you left,
I needed a new distraction
For you this time and for him.
And the cycle continues.

I wonder, when will I stop needing
Distractions?
When well I be
Strong enough to
Not need you anymore?
