You weren't the butterflies in my stomach —no, you were the ache in my chest. You were the lust in my eyes and the longing in my bones. And there's nothing I can do to shake the stinging feeling of wasps one my skin, in the places you should be.

You weren't the butterflies in my stomach —no, you were the ache in my chest. You were the lust in my eyes and the longing in my bones. And there's nothing I can do to shake the stinging feeling of wasps one my skin, in the places you should be.
