"I don't have a good answer for you, really"
You kiss me
"I don't get involved"
I run my fingers through your hair
"People are too messy"
I fell for your everywhere
"I think friends is best"
You kiss my neck
"I don't get too close"
I take off your shirt
"Lets take this slow"
Hold my face don't let go

We are both messy
We both have messy pasts, presents, and futures
We both fell too fast
We both still aren't over our exes
We both needed casual
We both craved intimacy

You were fun
But you couldn't trace the sky on me

It saddens me to feel the rift
Drifting towards indifference
When the soaking anger dries
All that is left is nothing

The words were in my heart
But they could not reach my mouth
That's the thing about taboo
When it's tied
To an "I love you"

On the couch
Me wrapped up in you
Like some present in the back of a Christmas movie
Heartbeat
Against my skin
This
Must be what it is

On the way home
My head in your lap
Wrapped in the soft blanket you brought so I wouldn't get cold
Staring at the cieling of your father's truck
Your face staring at me in my peripheral vision
Could be the 6th night in a row
That we have been together
And we both know it won't last forever
But your smile sends a shiver down my spine
And I never knew what it looked like
I'd never seen it
Maybe I could imagine it
But I never tried
With you
It came so easy
And I know everyone says that
The same way everyone says it gets better...

I come home
And let out a big sigh
This must be

What love looks like.
