Shedding Scales
I remember when touching you seemed impossible. When kissing you seemed the most exotic thing in the world. As if "no" was a dare I couldn't refuse.
And I couldn't refuse it nor could you.
But now we're here and I'm lost and I've found you. Found you to be something else. Unexpected even for you.
And I can't pretend I haven't seen you. I can't.
There is no truth but alcohol. It's all we know. It's shed your skin. It's shown me flesh.
And I cannot return. Cannot return. Cannot not stop knowing you.
