Do not confuse the act of kindness with the art of love
There is a line drawn in the sand that you desperately hope the tide will wash out but it never does
There is a difference between a drunken kiss and a sober smile
Do not think for a second you are the reason he wore cologne tonight
Do not acknowledge the hundreds of ropes untangling themselves in your stomach
Do not let his words seep into your skin
Believe them as much as you would believe the words of a man whom you've never met
He will smile in your direction
And it will make you feel like candlelight
Do not let the flame grow
You may think it will keep you warm but it will only burn you and you will wake up with the scars from his fingertips and try to fill in the gaps with liquor
But his taste burns so much sweeter than any alcohol
There is something so captivating about a wildfire
That we want to reach out and touch it
And when we do, it will burn us
Every Time
