When was the last time you gave her a rose
For no reason other than being beautiful
When was the last you gave her a kiss
Without expecting something in return
When was the last time you held her hand
To let her know that you'll always be there
When was the last time you caressed her skin
To make her feel like the woman that she is
When was the last time you made love to her
As though it may be your last time together
When was the last time you warmly embraced
To let her know how much she's worth
When was the last time you made her blush
With a compliment worthy of the jewel that she is
Take this heed from an experienced fool :)

Hey, I know it's late, but I can't stop thinking about what you said last night, right before we said goodbye.
And I don't know if you meant it, or if it was just a weird "in the moment" type of thing, but it hit me like a train going a thousand miles a second.
I haven't been able to feel anything but the constant loud knocking of my heart inside of my chest cavity,
and I found it nearly impossible to drive the forty-five minutes back home with my hand stuck on the wheel like a magnet and your voice, cracking like the spine of an old book, just on repeat in the back of my head,
telling me over and over again. Not even the radio on full blast could tune you out.
I know it's hard, I know it's hard, I know. I don't know what I'm doing either.
And I don't know how you make me feel so comfortably suffocated, but you saturate my soul in art and music
and you kiss my lips like I taste of your favorite candy.
You're the only thing I can think of, you're the only one.
Please, please, tell me it's real.
I can't take another waking second of not knowing.


All my love,
Air
It didn't deserve a name.

kiss me goodnight
for i want to hold your hand like gravity holds my feet on the gr
i want to worship your body like i've been waiting a thousand years just to be in the same bed as you
i promise
i'll sew my lips shut so i can't confess my love for the hundreth time
but i'll say it ninety nine times whilst i still can
i love you
they say perfection doesn't exist, but they haven't met you

i'm a terrible person
i will make you forget about everything else
i will ask you to dance with me in the middle of the night
i will look at your eyes; into your soul
i will plant flowers on edges of your mind
only to **** the butterflies that will feed from their nectars
i will rip off your skin and crush your every bone
i will kiss you until it hurts and leave you wanting more
and before you even know it,
im no longer the lady who takes care of your garden
then, you'll realize
i've always been that girl who plucks flowers from
their stems and steal their life away
only to satisfy herself with a flower crown in her hair

The things I do for love,ask my shoes.
I think that I may be addicted to you;

Because I'm hooked on those eyes that look past what everyone else sees,
and always finds the little bit of "worth it" that's left in me

And I ache for those hands that electrify my skin with each touch;
that overwhelm my every sense until it's almost too much.

I crave the familiar smell of your shirt when I lay curled up next to you,
with the surrounding peace so comforting it's almost too good to be true.

You are more dangerous than any nicotine
or any alcohol that has passed my lips
Because you always seem to return into my life,
and at least those are habits that I can quit...
I don't want smart.
I want spontaneous.

I don't want roses and a candle-lit dinner.
I want drunken nights by the campfire.

I don't want a boy that says 'I love you'
Because I don't believe in love
And, even if I did,
I'm not emotionally capable of feeling it.
I want a boy that's okay with that.

I don't want a boy that showers me with compliments
or a knight in shining armor.
I don't want mushy love letters or romantic get aways.
I don't want a boy who's looking for a wife
because I don't believe in marriage.
And I don't want a lover.
I want a partner in crime.

I want a boy with chaos flickering in his eyes.
I want a boy who smiles a lot.
I want contagious laughter.
I want loud.
I want steamy kisses where he presses my body into his and my skin tingles.

I don't want late night phone calls or 'Good morning' texts.
I want a boy that calls me out on my *******.
I want a boy that pushes my buttons.
I want a challenge.

I don't want a boy that makes me feel pretty.
I want a boy that makes me feel alive.

I want a boy that taps on my window in the middle of the night
And brings me on a starlit adventure.

I don't want a boy that makes love.
I want a boy that will **** me raw.
And I want a boy that will let me pass out on him afterwards.
And I want a boy that won't get offended if I move away in the middle of the night
Because cuddling hurts my neck and his heartbeat is keeping me awake.

I don't want a boy that holds hands.
I want a boy that drives too fast.
I don't want a boy that babies me.
And I don't want a shoulder to cry on
Because I'm not fragile
And I can take care of myself.
I want a boy that pushes me into oncoming sprinklers
And doesn't hold anything back.

I don't want a boy that's looking for forever
because forever seems like a really long time.
I want a boy that goes day by day.

I don't want safe.
I want to go fast.
I want to live on the edge.
I want exhilaration.

I don't want to be wanted.
I want to want.

Comment any advice you can think of that might make it a little more worth reading. I'd really appreciate it!
