I Couldn't Fall Asleep Until I Wrote This
Sometimes, I wish I hadn’t just been the backseat of your car, / Intoxicated. My first drunk hook up. My first. Period. / I picture myself being champagne on Valentine’s Day.

What is Love? Part 5: A Titan's Love
When she's around... time slows down... almost to the point of complete nothingness... I look at her and think, is there truly anything more gorgeous?.. / When She's around, I feel safe and that anywhere could be called home. Her eyes; a curious stare... my hand twitches, longing to touch her curlicious hair. / Our gaze's meet, and I find myself drifting... closer and closer to her feet. Her lips just within a leanings reach. Her dimples nearly touching my cheek... Her sent... 'Heavenly'.
