I reread all the letters you wrote to me
And I tell myself that you still feel that way
As I pray that this newfound loneliness will subside
Because I used to be my happiest at your side

Acquired Taste

You're good with people
Polite and considerate
You filter to save the awkwardness that follows honesty
You're very likable and easy to be around

I'm blunt and too straight forward
I offend a lot of people and quite often
My opinions are matter of fact and I act like I know everything when I don't mean to

It's quite the miracle that you love me
Because most people don't

Nevermind Then?

And it made sad
You didn't want to see the words
That I so delicately crafted
To express the beauty that occurs
When I am entwined with you

Refuge

And that's what set you apart from all the other lovers
The fact that for the first time in my life I got to collapse into someone's arms
And I wasn't required to be the
strong, independent, fearless person the world saw

I simply got to unravel, unload
*And breathe

Intimidating

She made it really easy to forget
That behind all her confidence and hardness
Lay a broken heart that had been shattered one too many times

Fantasies

My imagination won tonight
I guess there's no escaping you

Tease

You'll find me intriguing
You'll find yourself always wondering about me

My eyes will make you think that I already know everything about you
(And I do)
My smile will lie and tell you I'm too innocent to do any harm

I'll make you dizzy with mixed signals
I'll manipulate your lustful desires so you drool at my feet
While I feed you small facts about a tragic past so you can't just be in love with my body

And I'll let you kiss me
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear
I'll hold you close and let our hearts beat in rhythm
And then I'll disappear
You'll wonder forever if I loved you the way you loved me

And the truth is, I did
But I'll never say it out loud
