Just So You Know

I used to be afraid of:

Going numb

Being disliked

Love

Heartbreak

Scars

Wounds

Fear.

 

Now, I’ll show you my wounds and you’ll lick mine. Salt may spill form the corners of my eyes but I know your smooth fingers will remedy the pain. I’m certain that showing you the pain, the anger, the love, the truth will only build us higher. Only grow us stronger.

Molly. Your pasts don’t scare me, you wounds, they hurt me, but don’t worry. I’ll remedy them, if you’ll let me. I’ll lick the blood from your limbs and pull the shrapnel from your side I’ll swallow the pain your sick of eating, because I can.

Molly, I’ll live with you in this moment. I’ll love with you until our time runs out.

 

But for now I want you to know a few things.

I love you.

The way your body curves around mine is perfect.

I keep my eyes wide, so I can remember every second.

I wish San Francisco was right now.

I know we’re special.

I’d give up anything for this.

I love losing myself in us.

Being myself is easier when you’re around.

Your hands are lovely.

Your smile is better than any sunny day.

 

Molly, you should know, I want forever.

I want you, forever.

And I’ll love you no matter what.
