I want to runaway
Start all over
Forget about all the people I love
Abandon the story I thought I wanted to write
And start a whole new one
With new people
New places
And a new me

I want to believe that I could disappear
And this life that I led for the last 19 years
Would disappear too
And no one would notice
So I could leave with no regrets
And not hear so many voices ringing in my ears
I feel really lost right now
With no idea how to get my bearings
Or why I started feeling this way in the first place
I think I need to let go
Of ever believing that someone will love me
With the same depth and intensity as I love
That they will recognize the weight
Of the words
"I love you"
And all the promises they make when they proclaim that to me
Romanticize me
Make me feel overwhelmed with love
Surprise me with all the different ways your love drives you to show me just how you feel
Shower me in words to express the depths of your affection
Pour kisses on more than just my skin
Touch me in my soul so I feel the power of love within you
Go places you never have before
Do things you'd never thought you do
Because even though you've already won me over
I still need to be reminded from time to time
That you can't believe you're lucky enough to call me yours
She brushed off her tears as if it were dirt on her pants

And I wanted to tell her
That things are better when they're *****
I love you
I am hopelessly and desperately in love with you
But I love my well being too
And the last thing I want to choose between one or other
But I will if you force me

And as much as it saddens me,
I won't be choosing you
"I wanted to wait."*
She thought to herself.

He got dressed.
