Intimacy without love is like closeness without touch
it feels good in the moment, but it's not quite enough
Michelle Jan 2022
whisk me up and wash me away in your waves of exitement
but be careful with me please
I will follow your lead and I will do it with ease
I have too much trust to give and I have too much patience to forgive
so I will sit with you as your tears dry
watch, if you cry, I'll cry
if you say jump, I'll try to fly
not because I do not live a life of my own, have hopes and fears and plans
just that seeing the good in people is all I've ever known
all I ever will
and all I ever can
so drown me in the goodness of you
and it will teach me how to swim
so I can know how good you really are
when you finally let me in

I will sit and watch the rose petals fall one by one
until it tells me if you love me or not
then, when it's done, I'll come and tell you how much I love you
wether you love me or not

let's not argue like this is disposable
let's not drop words like bombs to see if we're unbreakable
because me loving you and you loving me doesn't make us permanent
this is not one that if we break we can just build another
so let's not be reckless with our hearts
let's be gentle with each other

Count me out,
leave me out,
cut me out
because i'm not taking your **** anymore
i call you everyday but you've never called me before
so call it quits, leave it now, let's say that we're through
because it started with us, but it's ending with you
you and your "give me a minute"
you and your "maybe another day"
me and my nothing to respond with except "ok"
but it's really not
it's a waste of my time
but i spend it all on you so i guess it's not really mine
you've not spent a second of yours on me in, well, ever
so this is me learning to spend wisely
i'm learning to be clever

In a way
instead of figuring out who you are
you end up fighting who you were
whilst chasing who you want to be
and in the process
exhausting yourself eventually
so, just be
and that will be enough for me

I tied little knots in my hair, so that when you ran your hand through
you'd be stuck,
hooked,
bound.
Anything just to make you stick around
