I fell in love with the back of you. That's because I wasn't special enough to be facing: Your eyes were never on me to begin with. But once they were I fell in love with those too. I fell in love with your everything. Problem is, now I'm falling out of love with the back of you. Because you are always walking away. You are always walking away because you're too scared to be loved by me and you're too scared to break my heart to my face. Just know this. I am here and I am looking at you, whether it's your front or your back it doesn't matter. Because I know your back like other people know the palm of their own hand. Every indentation, every flaw, you tell me you have bacne but I don't care: It makes me love you all the more. You are always walking away. Just let me know if we'll ever be facing again.
