After weeks of not talking
after months of no contact
after mere days of  no sign of you
my mind starts to play tricks
I question every thought I ever had of you.
I question if it is you that I long for
I question if it is only a glimpse of mere attraction?
as I lay awake thinking of our time
The tricks stop
the walls bow down
the defenses crumble
just at the slightest hint of your smile.

have I ever been in love?
no-no I quiet doubt that I have
its been easy to fawn over some guy I saw at the store, even easier to write about a a guy I met and ******* over.
every one of these little encounters I thought I was in fact "In Love"-I walked away unfazed.
I ready want to love someone-
I do.
it is easier though, to walk a away and lock the memories in different  boxes  in various rooms.
but for once ,at least for once in my life I want to love-
love as if walking into the room alight with flames and try my best to find that box of love kept away and memories locked up.
to feel.
to walk over glass to dance in the rain with the man who owns that part.
to give up all the royalties to laugh with the man who'd protect this box as his own.
and I promise once I love the way I write, I will walk into any arson.
