I ghosted my name into your skin with the tips of my fingers and hoped that if you felt it enough it would never leave you. I was selfish, yes, but you made me so in loving me. I wanted all of you. Every laugh line, skin cell, atom, and every tear and tooth. I never wanted anything like i wanted to leave fingerprints on all the greatest parts of you, and in wanting this so terribly, i allowed you to leave fingerprints on mine.
