I could tell you about the way he looked at me Like I was a deer head above the fire place in his basement Like I was the first place trophy he just won simply by existing Like an object to be obtained To be won Sure as hell not to be asked
I could tell you how I mistook that look for love Like he wanted to be with me Like he cared about what happened after he was gone Like a lover A friend Someone who actually cares about you
I could show you where he touched me Physical and metaphorical On my body And in my subconscious Making me flinch when a hand is raised Or when I see the red dress that "just didn't fit right"
I could make you fall in love with him With his sweet words of forever and always His promises and wishes The way he carded his hands through my hair And the way he kissed down my neck
I could do a lot of things And so could he The only real difference is I know where the line is.
