If
You
Cannot see that  
You

You
Might as well die believing that I love you, as much as
You
Love me.

The lustful temptation was almost as sweet as the love she thought they were sharing.
But when the law comes into question he made a marvelous disappearing act.
The boy fled with heart and security in hand.

He stared at the girl, feeling love. But he was tip toeing on the high bridge, trying not to fall even though he fell long ago and he didn't want to admit the strong, scary feelings that he couldn't understand.

Then I catch myself being too trusting.
Then I hide everything.
Then I shut you out.
Then I hate myself for everything you did to me.
Then I hurt myself for all the things I think I deserve.
Then I'm numb again...
Then I try to heal what can't be fixed
