there's a pain that doesn't hurt.
it's a thought that comes to mind when i remember your touch.
when i could look you in the eyes and hear your thoughts.
it's a smile i sensed in the corner of the room as i danced for you.
i made you laugh.
you gave me confidence.
i was free. free to be me. for the first time.
it's a bite you stole from my cupcake when i wasn't looking.
the victory shone on your face as you looked at me with your mouth full of chocolate.
and all i could do is chase you back to the bedroom, capture you, and sentence you to love.
it's a morning after work, as you got home much later than normal. you said it was a busy night.
i nodded and welcomed you, but your eyes betrayed your lips.
you were torn between two hearts.
you never gave me credit for putting up with that ****.
and it's okay.
i didn't need it.
i needed you.
it's a turn of the key and a glance at the rear view as i drove away.
it's a pain that doesn't hurt. not anymore.
sometimes.
