“if i fell in love with you, you'd be the only one who wouldn't know. i'd never smile at you because i'm afraid you'd return it and free the butterflies in my ribcage. i won't ask for your name not just because i would already have found out but mostly due to the fact that you might ask me for mine and the sound of my name at the tip of your tongue will ignite the sort of fire that will burn me into ashes from the inside out. i won't let you hold my hand because the thought of your skin on mine tires me out enough at night without my heart aching for another touch. i'm never going to tell you i love you because i know, everything that i have ever loved either crumbled to debris or ripped me apart.”

things i'd whisper to you in your sleep
