nothing seems to give me the same high that loving you does;
nothing gives me the same low as knowing that I can never have you.
I know I am addicted because the saying “I can stop anytime I want”
does not hold true for me.
I will continue to embrace the rush
that comes with looking at you from across the room
as well as taking the crash
that follows when I see him reach for your hand.
It’s almost comical: you are my addiction and my cure.

..And then I rolled over
I was forced to take in her beauty piece by piece
for if I tried to soak it up all at once I would have surely missed something

I first noticed how her forehead was free of any kind of wrinkle
Mom once told me that wrinkles on the head meant one of two things:
The person is either stressed  it’s from smiling too much
I wonder why she doesn’t have any.

I then watched as her eyelids began to roll back
unleashing the beauty behind them
Blue eyes or yet maybe green;
they seem to change every time I looked at them.
her eyes began to enslave me.
I was locked in a gaze with a window to her soul.
She then closed her eyes shut again as if closing them had a meaning.
I would have to stay here to be a able to look deeper.

Then I ran my eyes down to her cheeks.
Her freckles looked as if they were painted in a deliberate pattern
like constellations in the sky
They way they were peppered across her olive skin
made me almost dizzy from trying to trace the dots.

Finally my eyes found her smile.
I quickly realized that smiling was almost natural for her.
Not only natural it was as contagious as a wild fire
I noticed that I myself had started smiling.

I then looked back up and met her gaze.
Again I was locked into her eyes
wondering how much more she had to show me
if this was just a fragment of what was to come
I didn't know how long I could go before I would have to marry her.
planning to one day give this to her. Any thoughts?

It is really terrifying
I have no walls;
no lines that you cannot cross;
no doors you are not allowed to open.
you are allowed insight to every piece of me
my heart is yours to hold and yours to explore
please don't drop it for it is fragile from being broken before
please love what you find on your exploration into my soul
for others have turned away after seeing what hides inside
I pray that you can hold my heart better than others have in the past
I pray that you will love me better than others have in the past

Thank you for breaking me
My dear, by accident you broke down the walls of my heart
the walls that were so tall that even I could not climb them
You tore them down faster than I could repair them
leaving my heart vulnerable and bare
I must say this really is a terrifying feeling
but thats just what love is

Thank you for teaching me who I am
Through loving you I subconsciously began to discover myself
I began to break down the walls that haunted me ever since I was young
I began to break down the walls that were guarding my heart.
You came in and tore the walls down;
leaving my heart bare and vulnerable.
I guess that is what it means to love someone.
So thank you for breaking me down so that I could begin to rebuild myself but this time
with you by my side.

It was just small talk;
meaningless words traded while walking home.
That moment opened my eyes to you.
those meaningless words held all the meaning to me.

She has ruined me.
I will never love again.
no one can match her.
