I wrote this just for you

by latinwaters

Every morning I'll wake up shaking from the things I lack in life. So I'll add vodka to my coffee to help forget. I'll mix my anxiety with more stimulants to help preoccupy my mind. A million thoughts racing but you make it a million and one. I don't think about him the way I think about you. I still remember the way your hands would shake whenever they were placed on my hips and the way you kissed my neck never felt short of feeling unsure. When the tips of our fingers graze each other, I still remember how hesitant you were to touch a square inch of my flesh. Your absence left me nervous and that's become my new identity, but even though we've been acquainted before, we became close friends. Afraid of letting go so we grew together instead. My hands shake just like yours do and I still add anxiety to my liquid courage and pray that I wake up the next morning hoping to drink my coffee alone and maybe then I can tell you the reason why I am intertwined within his sheets and not yours is because he made me feel like someone wanted me, and that's something you could never do.
