soon I had stopped noticing the little things.. I had grown too comfortable and started to forget when your hair was long or short. how your eyes glistened like diamonds. but now those diamonds are like the jewels you had given me sometime before. you were always so beautiful to me. you were like a language no one can translate but now that's the only thing I ever hear. Twisted words and a man made alphabet. The only letters were those that created your name. Speaking had no value, your hands told the whole story. How cracked your fingers were and how large your palms are. How they held my waist so tight.. like I was bound to drown if you let go. Sliding down my spine like a snake slithering through my skin, you became who I was. you knew me inside-out, like how I wore your undershirts that seemed to fit a little too big but you told me I was your lovely rag doll. all messy and worn out, but still I had deserved all your love. Our hearts would beat in sync like our favorite song that would play in our heads as we kissed. smiling and hoping that each kiss wouldn't consume our last breath. Breathing became such a hassle when we were together. At first all we wanted to do was breathe in each other. Breathe in all the detail we held. Drink in all we had said. but now, we know each other as if we each made up something as holy as a bible. creating a new religion. breathing became a sin. But darling, sining was what we were forced to do. And inhaling your beauty was what I lived for. Knowing every curve of your body was my drug. I craved you all day but it was always the worst at 3am when I know you're sound asleep in your bed and I'm stuck here thinking endlessly about how your lips feel on my bare shoulders, how I lose myself in your eyes that reveal your whole soul, how so ******* perfect my name sounds as it gently rolls of your tongue.. past your lips and as it flows through my ears like a melody I've never heard before. Remembering all your features when I'm all alone is enough to rip me apart, cell by cell. You're so captivating, my love. You hold all of my love captive.
but my sweetness, my sunshine; you are the thief of my internal universe.
and oddly enough, I've always loved a thief.
