It was like an aphrodisiac
How you stir your tea and gaze into my eyes

I was love struck
Like a flow of electricity ran through my veins

Intimacy hits
And our eyes connect like constellations in the sky

And yet my father said,
When my mother passed

If you would ever love
Know you will lose it all at once

And for a moment,
I realized

How scared I was not to be alone
But to be left in solitude

and without a doubt
I stopped

This won't be the start of a happily ever after
So I'll be the side character
