I loved you so much my heartbeat shook the heavens, how dare you tell me I didn't love you hard enough? This was supposed to be that soft love. The kind that caresses your face like a light breeze. It was enough to shake your soul like it was rocking you to sleep. I wanted it to soothe you and leave you breathless all in the same moment. I wanted it to be as fierce as an earthquake that shifts all of the plate tectonics back into place as if it were fixing a puzzle. I wanted it to be as loud as a pin drop in a dead silent room. I wanted silence with you. I wanted the screams to echo through your mind like I was standing in the middle of mountains and valleys yelling to God all of the love stories I wrote about you. I wanted you to listen with your eyes closed and your mouth open. I wanted to feed you gentleness on a silver spoon. I wanted to love you. I wanted to be enough. But your eyes were always as big as flying saucers, and your heart only ever the size of a needle hole. My love was never meant for you.
